Cultivate within yourselves the mighty power of self-discipline.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I am the last leaf on the tree, and the wind is blowing.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I see a wonderful future in a very uncertain world. If we will cling to our values, if we will build on our inheritance, if we will walk in obedience before the Lord, if we will simply live the gospel we will be blessed in a magnificent and wonderful way. We will be looked upon as a peculiar people who have found the key to a peculiar happiness.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Stay out of the gutter in your conversation. Foul talk defiles the man who speaks it... Don't swear. Don't profane. Avoid so-called dirty jokes. Stay away from conversation that is sprinkled with foul and filthy words. You will be happier if you do so, and your example will give strength to others.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Without preservation and cultivation of the spiritual, your material success will be as ashes in your mouths.
Gordon B. Hinckley
You have not failed until you quit trying.

You can't plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Be strong-be strong in the discipline of self. How many otherwise good men squander their strength and dissipate their will and literally destroy their lives because they have not the power of self-discipline.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Christmas means 'giving,' and the gift without the giver is bare. Give of yourselves give of your substance give of your heart and mind.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Who can calculate the wounds inflicted, their depth and pain, by harsh and mean words spoken in anger? How pitiful a sight is a man who is strong in many ways but who loses all control of himself when some little thing, usually of no significant consequence, disturbs his equanimity.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Conflict grows out of ignorance and suspicion. As we learn to know and appreciate those of various cultures, we come to appreciate them.
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
Remember that whatever you do or wherever you are, you are never alone.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Enjoy music. Not the kind that rocks and rolls, but the music of the masters, the music that has lived through the centuries, the music that has lifted people. If you do not have a taste for it, listen to it thoughtfully. If you do not like it the first time, listen to it again and keep listening.
Gordon B. Hinckley
God has saved you to make your appearance in the last days.
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
Walk by faith. God will open the way. When there is no way, He will open the way.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Do not nag yourself with a sense of failure
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is no substitute for virtue. Keep your thoughts virtuous. Rise above the filth that's all around you in this world and stand tall in strength and virtue. You can do this and you will be happier for it for as long as you live. God bless you in cherishing, developing and holding on to this great gift, the quality of personal virtue.
Gordon B. Hinckley
