Gordon B. Hinckley
With the increase of missionary work throughout the world, there must be a comparable increase in the effort to make every convert feel at home in his or her ward or branch. . . . I invite every member to reach out in friendship and love for those who come into the Church as converts.
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
To you wives who are constantly complaining and see only the dark side of life, and feel that you are unloved and unwanted, look into your own hearts and minds. If there is something wrong, turn about. Put a smile on your faces. Make yourselves more attractive. Brighten your outlook.
Gordon B. Hinckley

Gordon B. Hinckley

For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this, the Dispensation of the Fulness [sic] of Times.

Gordon B. Hinckley
Be grateful, be smart, be clean, be true, be humble, be prayerful.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Let everything that you do bring credit and honor to the Church, of which you are a member, and the Lord will bless you and magnify you. Let there be no animosity among you but only love, regardless of race, regardless of circumstances. Let us love one another as the Lord would have us do
Gordon B. Hinckley
I don't hesitate to say if every family in the world practiced [family home evening], you'd see a very great difference in the solidarity of the families of the world.
Gordon B. Hinckley
If we will concentrate on the best, that element will grow until it sparkles.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Everyone who owns a home recognizes the need for fire insurance. We hope and pray that there will never be a fire. Nevertheless, we pay for insurance to cover such a catastrophe, should it occur. We ought to do the same with reference to family welfare.
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
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
Work is the miracle by which talent is brought to the surface and dreams become reality.
