More quotes by 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
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
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
I would like to suggest to you that you 'grab life by the horns' and do not let life grab you by the horns. You take control of your lives. Do not let life control you. Take charge. Rise to the divinity that is within you.
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
I believe in the principle that I can make a difference in this world. It may be ever so small, but it will count for the greater good.
Gordon B. Hinckley
If you serve a mission faithfully and well, you will be a better husband, you will be a better father, you will be a better student, a better worker in your chosen vocation. Love is of the essence of this missionary work. Selflessness is of its very nature. Self-discipline is its requirement. Prayer opens its reservoir of power.
Gordon B. Hinckley
As you work with your associates to help them with their faith, you will save them and also yourselves.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Criticism is the forerunner of divorce, the cultivator of rebellion, sometimes an agent that leads to failure.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Let us stand a little taller, if you don't, you will never strengthen yourself
Gordon B. Hinckley
If we are worried about the future, then we must look today at the upbringing of children.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There have been times when a particularly heavy dose of such cynicism has caused me to reflect that surely this is the age and place of the gifted pickle sucker!
Gordon B. Hinckley
Let us never forget to pray. God lives. He is near. He is real.
Gordon B. Hinckley
One has neither independence nor freedom from bondage when he is obligated to others
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
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
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
Keep your families close together, and love and honor your children.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Gratitude is the beginning of wisdom. Stated differently, true wisdom cannot be obtained unless it is built on a foundation of true humility and gratitude.
Gordon B. Hinckley
