You cannot lift another soul until you are standing on higher ground than he is. You cannot light a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul.

For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name's glory

Image
I only ask to go where the Lord would have me go, and only to receive what the Lord would have me receive, knowing that more important than sight is the witness that one may have by the witness of the Holy Ghost to his soul that things are so and that Jesus is the Christ, a living personage.

Image
I earnestly urge all our people to unite under the true banner of the Master, to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ so powerfully that no truly converted person could ever be aligned with these controversial concepts and procedures contrary to the Lord's plan of salvation.

The greatest waste in all the world is living below our potential.

There are many who profess to be religious and speak of themselves as Christians, and, according to one such, as accepting the scriptures only as sources of inspiration and moral truth, and then ask in their smugness: Do the revelations of God give us a handrail to the kingdom of God, as the Lord's messenger told Lehi, or merely a compass?

Conversion must mean more than just being a 'card-carrying' member of the church with a tithing receipt, a membership card, a temple recommend, etc. It means to overcome the tendencies to criticize and to strive continually to improve inward weaknesses and not merely the outward appearances.

Image
I want to say something to you men. You cannot destroy the appointment of a prophet of God, but you can cut the thread that binds you to the prophet of God, and sink yourselves to hell.

The most important of all the commandments of God is that one that you are having the most difficulty keeping today.
Harold B. Lee
Image
It isn't the Lord who withholds himself from us. It is we who withhold ourselves from him because of our failure to keep his commandments.

Image
A clean and well-cared for appearance should be maintained. Hair styles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles. Mens' hair should be trimmed above the collar, leaving the ears uncovered. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed. Earrings for men are unacceptable, and beards are not acceptable, except for certified medical reasons.

We can be the best taught people on the face of the earth but the trouble is we don't live as well as we have been taught.

The Lord is going to keep His people informed if they will listen.

The most important of the Lord's work you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home.

Don't get so busy that you don't have time to meditate. Take the time.... Christ may be nearer than we have knowledge. 'I am in your midst, but you do not see me.'

Wouldn't it be a great thing if all who are well schooled in secular learning could hold fast to the iron rod, or the word of God, which could lead them, through faith, to an understanding, rather than to have them stray away into strange paths of man-made theories and be plunged into the murky waters of disbelief and apostasy?

Every man stamps his value on himself. The price we challenge for ourselves is given us by others. -Man is made great or little by his own will.

Our father in heaven governs the affairs of men by placing specific individuals upon the earth to lead at specific times and inspiring and directing them.

Image
I thank the Lord that I may have passed some of the tests, but maybe there will have to be more before I shall have been polished to do all that the Lord would have me do. Sometimes when the veil has been very thin, I have thought that if the struggle had been still greater that maybe then there would have been no veil.
