More quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
As you work with your associates to help them with their faith, you will save them and also yourselves.
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
We need to have a little humor in our lives. .If the time ever comes when we can't smile at ourselves, it will be a sad time.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I am satisfied that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one's companion. Any man who will make his wife's comfort his first concern will stay in love with her throughout their lives and through the eternity yet to come
Gordon B. Hinckley
Work will cure your grief. Serve others.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Let us all try to stand a little taller, rise a little higher, be a little better. Make the extra effort. You will be happier.
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
If we will concentrate on the best, that element will grow until it sparkles.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Simple honesty is so remarkable a quality. It is of the very essence of Integrity.
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
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
Are these perilous times? They are. But we can have peace in our hearts and in our homes.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Our whole strength rests on the validity of [Joseph Smith's] vision. It either occurred or it did not occur. If it did not, then this work is a fraud. If it did, then it is the most important and wonderful work under the heavens.
Gordon B. Hinckley
As we have been continuously counseled for more than 60 years, let us have some food set aside that would sustain us for a time in case of need. But let us not panic nor go to extremes. Let us be prudent in every respect. And, above all, my brothers and sisters, let us move forward with faith in the Living God and His Beloved Son.
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
Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others...By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.
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
Sacrifice is the very essence of religion ... Without sacrifice there is no true worship of God.
Gordon B. Hinckley
When an individual is motivated by great and powerful convictions of truth, then he disciplines himself, not because of the demands of the church, but because of the knowledge within his heart
Gordon B. Hinckley
We live in a world where knowledge is developing at an ever-accelerating rate. Drink deeply from this ever-springing well of wisdom and human experience.
Gordon B. Hinckley
