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.

The goodness of the world in which we live is the accumulated goodness of many small and seemingly inconsequential acts.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We live in a world where knowledge is developing at an ever-accelerating rate. Drink deeply from this ever-springing well of wisdom and human experience.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Every righteous man or woman is entitled to revelation concerning his own affairs.
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 can't build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you're going to have a strong superstructure.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Father forgive us, for we do not what we know.
Gordon B. Hinckley
