Heber J. Grant
Image
In times of temptation, of sorrow, of peace and of blessing, let us pray always, both alone and with our families.
Heber J. Grant
Image
I believe unless we have ambition to accomplish things and to do things that we amount to but very little in the battle of life.
Heber J. Grant
Image
Thank God we are not to be judged by the opinions of our fellows, but by the work that we do.
Heber J. Grant
Image
He can who thinks he can.
Heber J. Grant
Image
Every individual can improve from day to day, from year to year, and have greater capacity to do things as the years come and the years go.
Heber J. Grant
Image
I assert with confidence that the law of success, here and hereafter, is to have a humble and a prayerful heart, and to work, work, work.
Heber J. Grant

I consider it one of the greatest accomplishments of my life that I have learned to sing.
Heber J. Grant
Image
The minute a man stops supplicating God for His Spirit and direction, just so soon he starts out to become a stranger to Him and His works. When men stop praying for God's Spirit, they place confidence in their own unaided reason, and they gradually lose the Spirit of God.
Heber J. Grant
Image
The Lord does not need your tithing, as far as He is concerned, but you need it for your growth, spiritually and temporally, that the windows of heaven may be opened and the Spirit of the living God given to you.
Heber J. Grant
Image
If there is any one thing that will bring peace and contentment into the human heart, and into the family, it is to live within our means. And if there is any one thing that is grinding and discouraging and disheartening, it is to have debts and obligations that one cannot meet.
Heber J. Grant
Image
No matter in what land we may dwell the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ makes us brothers and sisters, interested in each other, eager to understand and know each other.
Heber J. Grant
Image
We do appeal to all men and women, realizing the responsibility resting upon them, to seek God our heavenly Father to guide them politically as well as religiously, and to stand for right and for those things that are for the good of this nation.
Heber J. Grant
Image
I am free to confess that I am disappointed with the Yosemite valley. It seems only about one-half as grand as the American Fork canyon.
Heber J. Grant
Image
The singing of the songs of Zion, though imperfectly, with the inspiration of God, will touch the hearts of the honest more effectively than if sung well without the Spirit of God.
Heber J. Grant
Image
No obstacles are insurmountable when God commands and we obey.
Heber J. Grant
Image
I do not believe we accomplish very much in life unless we are enthusiastic, unless we are in earnest, and unless we practice what we preach.
Heber J. Grant
Image
I have reached out my hand, I have plucked the fruits of the Gospel, I have eaten of them, and they are sweet, yea, above all that is sweet.
Heber J. Grant
Image
Teaching by precept, without example, is mighty poor teaching.
Heber J. Grant
Image
If we are faithful in keeping the commandments of God His promises will be fulfilled to the very letter. . . . The trouble is, the adversary of men's souls blinds their minds. He throws dust, so to speak, in their eyes, and they are blinded with the things of this world.
