More quotes by 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
There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements.
Gordon B. Hinckley
You never know how much good you do.
Gordon B. Hinckley
In matters of honesty, there are no shortcuts no little white lies, or big black lies, only the simple, honest truth spoken in total candor... Being true is different than being honest.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We must work harder to build mutual respect, an attitude of tolerance, with forbearance one for another.
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
Be grateful, be smart, be clean, be true, be humble, be prayerful.
Gordon B. Hinckley
In missionary work, as in all else, preparation precedes power. Encouragement to prepare while still very young can make a tremendous difference.
Gordon B. Hinckley
The discipline that is needed in our lives is the discipline that comes from within.
Gordon B. Hinckley
We're all sons and daughters of God, and therefore in a very literal sense, brothers and sisters. And we ought to treat each other that way.
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
There is no strength that is greater than the strength of virtue. There is no other nobility equal to the nobility of virtue. There is no quality so becoming, no attire so attractive.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I hope you are reading to your children, out loud. That's much better than watching television, much better. They won't get very much out of television except some bad thoughts.
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
The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives, who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner.
Gordon B. Hinckley
There is no more compelling motivation to worthwhile endeavor than the knowledge that we are children of God, that God expects us to do something with our lives, and that He will give us help when help is sought.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Good books are as friends, willing to give to us if we are willing to make a little effort.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I have seen miracles in my time, my brothers and sisters. The greatest miracle of all, I believe, is the transformation that comes into the life of a man or a woman who accepts the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and tries to live it in his or her life.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Whatever you do, do well. Be good at it. Stand a little taller. Be a little stronger. Be a little better.
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
