More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
Whatever you do, do well. Be good at it. Stand a little taller. Be a little stronger. Be a little better.
Gordon B. Hinckley
For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this, the Dispensation of the Fulness [sic] of Times. He, together with His Father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Every sacrament meeting ought to be a spiritual feast.
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
At this time of Christmas, this season when gifts are given, let us not forget that God gave His Son, and His Son gave His life, that each of us might have the gift of eternal life.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Christmas means 'giving,' and the gift without the giver is bare. Give of yourselves give of your substance give of your heart and mind.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God on the earth will be combined together at Christ's coming - and that time is not far distant. How I wish we could get the vision of this work, the genius of it, and realize the nearness of that great event. I am sure it would have a sobering effect upon us if we realized what is before us.
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
Quiet talk is the language of love. It is the language of peace. It is the language of God.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I am totally in the hands of the Lord.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Work at our responsibility as parents as if everything in life counted on it.
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
Work will cure your grief. Serve others.
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
Love is the very essence of life.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Stay out of the gutter in your conversation. Foul talk defiles the man who speaks it... Don't swear. Don't profane. Avoid so-called dirty jokes. Stay away from conversation that is sprinkled with foul and filthy words. You will be happier if you do so, and your example will give strength to others.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is something almost sacred about a great library because it represents the preservation of the wisdom, the learning, and the pondering of men and women of all the ages, accumulated under one roof.
Gordon B. Hinckley
None of you need worry because you read something that was incompletely reported. You need not worry that I do not understand some matters of doctrine... I think I understand them thoroughly.
Gordon B. Hinckley
If you are too busy in your church activities to take care of your family, then perhaps we had better find something else for you to do.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Cultivate within yourselves the mighty power of self-discipline.
Gordon B. Hinckley
