More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
The Constitution under which we live and which has not only blessed us but has become a model for other constitutions, is our God-inspired national safeguard ensuring freedom and liberty, justice and equality before the law.
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
This will be the most important decision of your life, the individual whom you marry.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Choose your friends carefully. It is they who will lead you in one direction or the other. Everybody wants friends. Everybody needs friends. No one wishes to be without them. But never lose sight of the fact that it is your friends who will lead you along the paths that you will follow.
Gordon B. Hinckley
If we are worried about the future, then we must look today at the upbringing of children.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Everyone who owns a home recognizes the need for fire insurance. We hope and pray that there will never be a fire. Nevertheless, we pay for insurance to cover such a catastrophe, should it occur. We ought to do the same with reference to family welfare.
Gordon B. Hinckley
When we speak quietly one to another things somehow get settled.
Gordon B. Hinckley
It is not wise, or even possible, to divorce private behavior from public leadership.... By its very nature, true leadership carries with it the burden of being an example.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I don't know that we teach it. I don't know that we emphasize it... I understand the philosophical background behind it, but I don't know a lot about it, and I don't think others know a lot about it.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We must work harder to build mutual respect, an attitude of tolerance, with forbearance one for another.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I am totally in the hands of the Lord.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.
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
The home is under siege. So many families are being destroyed...If anyone can change the dismal situation into which we are sliding, it is you. Rise up, oh women of Zion, rise up to the great challenge which faces you. My message to you, my challenge to you, my prayer is that you will rededicate yourselves to the strengthening of your homes.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Give expression to the noble desires that lie in your heart.
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
I spent one night in the hospital in my life. I was past 75 when that occurred.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The way of the Lord is the way of happiness. ‘Wickedness never was happiness’ [Alma 41:10]. Transgression never was happiness. Sin never was happiness. Disobedience never was happiness. The way of happiness is following the way of the Lord. I believe this with all my heart.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Books represent the accumulated workings of the human mind, the endless treasures of man's thoughts.
Gordon B. Hinckley
When an individual is motivated by great and powerful convictions of truth, then he disciplines himself, not because of the demands of the church, but because of the knowledge within his heart
