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

No obstacles are insurmountable when God commands and we obey.
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

Teaching by precept, without example, is mighty poor teaching.
Heber J. Grant
Image
Satan...[plans] to destroy liberty and freedom ~ economic, political, and religious, and to set up in place thereof the greatest, most widespread, and most complete tyranny that has ever oppressed men. He is working under such perfect disguise that many do not recognize either him or his methods.
Heber J. Grant
Image
Being an only child, my mother reared me very carefully.
Heber J. Grant
Image
If we are striving, if we are working, if we are trying, to the best of our ability, to improve day by day, then we are in the line of our duty.
Heber J. Grant
Image
I consider it one of the greatest accomplishments of my life that I have learned to sing.
Heber J. Grant
Image
The singing of our sacred hymns, written by the servants of God, has a powerful effect in converting people to the principles of the Gospel, and in promoting peace and spiritual growth.
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
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.
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
