Gordon B. Hinckley
My plea...is a plea to save the children. Too many of them walk with pain and fear, in loneliness and despair. Children need sunlight...They need kindness and refreshment and affection. Every home, regardless of the cost of the house, can provide an environment of love which will be an environment of salvation.
Gordon B. Hinckley

Gordon B. Hinckley
Criticism is the forerunner of divorce, the cultivator of rebellion, sometimes an agent that leads to failure.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I urge our people everywhere, with all of the persuasiveness of which I am capable, to live worthy to hold a temple recommend, to secure one and regard it as a precious asset, and to make a greater effort to go to the House of the Lord and partake of the spirit and the blessings to be had therein.
Gordon B. Hinckley
If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel.
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
Cultivate within yourselves the mighty power of self-discipline.
