Gordon B. Hinckley
I am suggesting that we spend a little less time in idleness, in the fruitless pursuit of watching inane and empty television programs. Time so utilized can be put to better advantage, and the consequences will be wonderful.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Quiet talk is the language of love. It is the language of peace. It is the language of God.
