Woman is God’s supreme creation. Only after the earth had been formed, after the day had been separated from the night, after the waters had been divided from the land, after vegetation and animal life had been created, and after man had been placed on the earth, was woman created and only then was the work pronounced complete and good.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Be grateful, be smart, be clean, be true, be humble, be prayerful.

Gordon B. Hinckley
Marriage should not be viewed as a therapeutic step to solve problems such as homosexual inclinations or practices.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Carry on. Things will work out. If you keep trying and praying and working, things will work out. They always do. If you want to die at an early age, dwell on the negative. Accentuate the positive, and you’ll be around for a while.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is nothing the Lord has asked of us that in faith we cannot accomplish.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We must work harder to build mutual respect, an attitude of tolerance, with forbearance one for another.

. . . as people serve, they grow in capacity. The time and effort is not a sacrifice because there is returned more than is given.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The singing of hymns and the rendition of selections from the great sacred oratorios by ward choirs all enhance the spirit of worship.
Gordon B. Hinckley
To you wives who are constantly complaining and see only the dark side of life, and feel that you are unloved and unwanted, look into your own hearts and minds. If there is something wrong, turn about. Put a smile on your faces. Make yourselves more attractive. Brighten your outlook.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I don't know that we teach it. I don't know that we emphasize it... I understand the philosophical background behind it, but I don't know a lot about it, and I don't think others know a lot about it.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We need to have a little humor in our lives. .If the time ever comes when we can't smile at ourselves, it will be a sad time.
