More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
Marriage should not be viewed as a therapeutic step to solve problems such as homosexual inclinations or practices.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is no strength that is greater than the strength of virtue. There is no other nobility equal to the nobility of virtue. There is no quality so becoming, no attire so attractive.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There has come to you as your birthright something beautiful and sacred and divine. Never forget that. Your Eternal Father is the Great master of the Universe. He rules over all, but He also will listen to your prayers as His daughter and hear you as you speak with Him. He will answer your prayers. He will not leave you alone.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We must build more temples, and we must build them more quickly. This is the season to build temples. They are needed, and we have the means to do so. The Lord will hold us accountable if we do not work with greater accomplishment than we are now doing.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We are here to assist our Father in His work and His glory, 'to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man' (Moses 1:39). Your obligation is as serious in your sphere of responsibility as is my obligation in my sphere.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There have been times when a particularly heavy dose of such cynicism has caused me to reflect that surely this is the age and place of the gifted pickle sucker!
Gordon B. Hinckley

Gordon B. Hinckley
There is nothing the Lord has asked of us that in faith we cannot accomplish.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is no end to the good we can do, to the influence we can have with others. Let us not dwell on the critical or the negative. Let us pray for strength let us pray for capacity and desire to assist others. Let us radiate the light of the gospel at all times and all places, that the Spirit of the Redeemer may radiate from us.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Forget yourself and go to work.
Gordon B. Hinckley
With the increase of missionary work throughout the world, there must be a comparable increase in the effort to make every convert feel at home in his or her ward or branch. . . . I invite every member to reach out in friendship and love for those who come into the Church as converts.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Good books are as friends, willing to give to us if we are willing to make a little effort.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I hope you will simply do what you can do in the best way you know. If you do so, you will witness miracles come to pass.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We must work harder to build mutual respect, an attitude of tolerance, with forbearance one for another.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others...By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.
Gordon B. Hinckley

Gordon B. Hinckley
Father forgive us, for we do not what we know.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I am satisfied that every man or woman who goes to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and faith leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman.
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
