More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
Avoid alcohol as you would a loathsome disease. Beer will do to you what hard liquor will do. Each contains alcohol in varying amounts.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Every sacrament meeting ought to be a spiritual feast.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Love is like the North Star. In a changing world, it's always constant.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Dishonesty of any kind will create a blemish.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Missionary work has never been easy, and yet the joyful rewards cannot be equaled by any other experience.
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
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
One has neither independence nor freedom from bondage when he is obligated to others
Gordon B. Hinckley
. . . as people serve, they grow in capacity. The time and effort is not a sacrifice because there is returned more than is given.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Death is not the end, but a more glorified existence.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The Church expects that each of us carry a share of the burden of leadership. There is no paid clergy. The work is done because of a love of the cause. And as people serve, they grow in capacity. The time and effort is not a sacrifice because there is returned more than is given.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Woman is God’s supreme creation. Only after the earth had been formed, after the day had been separated from the night, after the waters had been divided from the land, after vegetation and animal life had been created, and after man had been placed on the earth, was woman created and only then was the work pronounced complete and good.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is nothing the Lord has asked of us that in faith we cannot accomplish.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Under the sacred and compelling trust we have as members of the Church of Jesus Christ, ours is a work of redemption, of lifting and saving those who need help. Ours is a task of raising the sights of those of our people who fail to realize the great potential that lies within them.
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
He whose birth we commemorate this season is more than the symbol of a holiday. He is the Son of God, the Creator of the earth, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, the fulfillment of the Law of Moses, the Redeemer of mankind, the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The family is a creation of God. The way to strengthen the nation is to strengthen the homes of the people.
Gordon B. Hinckley
What a wonderful time it is for each of us to do his or her small part in moving the work of the Lord on to its magnificent destiny.
Gordon B. Hinckley
God is the designer of the family.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Marriage in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other, but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have.
Gordon B. Hinckley
