More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
If every husband and every wife would constantly do whatever might be possible to ensure the comfort and happiness of his or her companion, there would be very little, if any, divorce. Argument would never be heard. Accusations would never be leveled. Angry explosions would not occur. Rather, love and concern would replace abuse and meanness.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Our whole strength rests on the validity of [Joseph Smith's] vision. It either occurred or it did not occur. If it did not, then this work is a fraud. If it did, then it is the most important and wonderful work under the heavens.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is rampant among us a spirit of criticism. Men and women who carry heavy responsibility do not need criticism, they need encouragement.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Gratitude is the beginning of civility, of decency and goodness, of a recognition that we cannot afford to be arrogant. We should walk with the knowledge that we will need help every step of the way.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Strength to do battle begins with enlisting the strength of God.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Every sacrament meeting ought to be a spiritual feast.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Gratitude is the beginning of wisdom. Stated differently, true wisdom cannot be obtained unless it is built on a foundation of true humility and gratitude.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The world is our responsibility. We cannot evade it.
Gordon B. Hinckley
God is only God when he is acting as such.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We live in a society that feeds on criticism. It is so easy to find fault, and to resist doing so requires much discipline.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The family is a creation of God. The way to strengthen the nation is to strengthen the homes of the people.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is another serious thing to which many young men become addicted. This is anger. With the least provocation they explode into tantrums of uncontrolled rage. It is pitiful to see someone so weak. But even worse, they are prone to lose all sense of reason and do things which bring later regret.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Try a little harder to be a little better.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Let us take a little time to meditate, to think of what we can do to improve our lives and to become better examples of what a Latter-day Saint should be.
Gordon B. Hinckley
God has saved you to make your appearance in the last days.
Gordon B. Hinckley
In terms of you happiness, in terms of the matters that make you proud or sad, nothing-I repeat, nothing-will have so profound an effect on you as the way your children turn out. You will either rejoice and boast of their accomplishments or you will weep, head in hands, bereft and forlorn, if they become a disappointment or an embarrassment to you.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Though my work may be menial, though my contribution may be small, I can perform it with dignity and offer it with unselfishness. My talents may not be great, but I can use them to bless the lives of others.... The goodness of the world in which we live is the accumulated goodness of many small and seemingly inconsequential acts.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives, who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner.
Gordon B. Hinckley
You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something.
Gordon B. Hinckley
