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
Let us never forget to pray. God lives. He is near. He is real. He is not only aware of us but cares for us. He is our Father. He is accessible to all who will seek Him.
Gordon B. Hinckley
In all we do we must cultivate faith. Increased faith is the touchstone to improved church performance.
Gordon B. Hinckley
One of the bellwether marks of the growth and vitality of the Church is the construction of temples. We will keep on working to bring the temples to the people, making it more convenient for Latter day Saints everywhere to receive the blessings which can only be had in these holy houses.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Walk by faith. God will open the way. When there is no way, He will open the way.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is another serious thing to which many young men become addicted. This is anger. With the least provocation they explode into tantrums of uncontrolled rage. It is pitiful to see someone so weak. But even worse, they are prone to lose all sense of reason and do things which bring later regret.
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

Gordon B. Hinckley
I forewarn you, this will be a rather long talk. I am an old man. I do not know how much longer I will live, and so I want to say what I have to say, while I have the strength to say it. ...Having been warned, some of you will wish to get comfortable. Pleasant dreams.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Love is the very essence of life.
Gordon B. Hinckley
In our old age my beloved companion said to me quietly one evening, You have always given me wings to fly, and I have loved you for it.
Gordon B. Hinckley
As we have been continuously counseled for more than 60 years, let us have some food set aside that would sustain us for a time in case of need. But let us not panic nor go to extremes. Let us be prudent in every respect. And, above all, my brothers and sisters, let us move forward with faith in the Living God and His Beloved Son.
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
Conversations I have had with school principals and students lead me to the same conclusion-that...there is an evil and growing habit of profanity and the use of foul and filthy language.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Criticism is the forerunner of divorce, the cultivator of rebellion, sometimes an agent that leads to failure.
Gordon B. Hinckley
You will find peace and happiness if you will live the gospel.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Criticism is the seed of divorce, and it develops rebellion in our young.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Stay out of the gutter in your conversation. Foul talk defiles the man who speaks it.
Gordon B. Hinckley
