More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
Watch what you choose to do. For instance, someone might want you to smoke. Never forget that I told you - don't do it. Say no.That can of beer that somebody wants you to try, don't do it. Don't you ever do it.That drug that someone might want you to use, don't touch it.Stay away from it. It can destroy you.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Under the sacred and compelling trust we have as members of the Church of Jesus Christ, ours is a work of redemption, of lifting and saving those who need help. Ours is a task of raising the sights of those of our people who fail to realize the great potential that lies within them.
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
There must be labor, incessant and constant, if there is to be a harvest.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Get on your knees and pray, then get on your feet and work.
Gordon B. Hinckley
It is selfishness which is the cause of most of our misery.
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
Love can make the difference-love generously given in childhood and reaching through the awkward years of youth . . . and encouragement that is quick to compliment and slow to criticize.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Love for the Lord, love for His servants the missionaries. Missionary work is a work of love and trust, and it has to be done on that basis.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I am satisfied that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one's companion. Any man who will make his wife's comfort his first concern will stay in love with her throughout their lives and through the eternity yet to come
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
There is no more compelling motivation to worthwhile endeavor than the knowledge that we are children of God, that God expects us to do something with our lives, and that He will give us help when help is sought.
Gordon B. Hinckley
It is good to look to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the future.
Gordon B. Hinckley
It is imperative that good people, men and women of principle, be involved in the political process otherwise we abdicate power to those whose designs are almost entirely selfish.
Gordon B. Hinckley
It was a very limited practice carefully safeguarded. In 1890, that practice was discontinued.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The Church expects that each of us carry a share of the burden of leadership. There is no paid clergy. The work is done because of a love of the cause. And 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
Missionary work has never been easy, and yet the joyful rewards cannot be equaled by any other experience.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Marriage should not be viewed as a therapeutic step to solve problems such as homosexual inclinations or practices.
Gordon B. Hinckley
He who lives only unto himself withers and dies, while he who forgets himself in the service of others grows and blossoms.
Gordon B. Hinckley
You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.
Gordon B. Hinckley
