More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Father forgive us, for we do not what we know.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Tremendous happiness and peace of mind are the results of loving service to others. Nobody can live fully and happily who lives only unto himself or herself.
Gordon B. Hinckley
How much more beautiful would be the world and the society in which we live if...every mother regarded her children as the jewels of her life, as gifts from the God of heaven, who is their Eternal Father, and brought them up in true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I know of no better answer to the foul practices that confront our young people than the teachings of a mother, given in love with an unmistakable warning.
Gordon B. Hinckley
It is the home which produces the nursery stock of new generations. I hope that you mothers will realize that when all is said and done, you have no more compelling responsibility, nor any laden with greater rewards, than the nurture you give your children in an environment of security, peace, companionship, love and motivation to grow and do well.
Gordon B. Hinckley
When an individual is motivated by great and powerful convictions of truth, then he disciplines himself, not because of the demands of the church, but because of the knowledge within his heart
Gordon B. Hinckley
I would like to suggest to you that you 'grab life by the horns' and do not let life grab you by the horns. You take control of your lives. Do not let life control you. Take charge. Rise to the divinity that is within you.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Without preservation and cultivation of the spiritual, your material success will be as ashes in your mouths.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The world is our responsibility. We cannot evade it.
Gordon B. Hinckley

Gordon B. Hinckley
Great has been our past, wonderful is our present, and glorious can be our future.
Gordon B. Hinckley
As you walk the road of life, be careful of your friends. They can make you or break you.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I challenge every one of you who can hear me to rise to the divinity within you. Do we really realize what it means to be a child of God, to have within us something of the divine nature?
Gordon B. Hinckley
No other practice will make one more attractive in conversation than to be well-read in a variety of subjects.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Let everything that you do bring credit and honor to the Church, of which you are a member, and the Lord will bless you and magnify you. Let there be no animosity among you but only love, regardless of race, regardless of circumstances. Let us love one another as the Lord would have us do
Gordon B. Hinckley
Believe in yourselves. Believe in your capacity to do some good in this world. God sent us here for a purpose, and that was to improve the world in which we live. The wonderful thing is that we can do it.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Criticism and pessimism destroy families, undermine institutions of all kinds, defeat nearly everyone, and spread a shroud of gloom over entire nations.
Gordon B. Hinckley
This will be the most important decision of your life, the individual whom you marry.
Gordon B. Hinckley
All of us have problems. We face them every day. How grateful I am that we have difficult things to wrestle with. They keep us young, they keep us alive, they keep us going, they keep us humble. Be grateful for your problems, and know that somehow there will come a solution. Just do the best you can, but be sure it is the very best.
Gordon B. Hinckley
