More quotes by Heber J. Grant
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
In times of temptation, of sorrow, of peace and of blessing, let us pray always, both alone and with our families.
Heber J. Grant
I consider it one of the greatest accomplishments of my life that I have learned to sing.
Heber J. Grant
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
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
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
Teaching by precept, without example, is mighty poor teaching.
Heber J. Grant
May we be strengthened with the understanding that being blessed does not mean that we shall always be spared all the disappointments and difficulties of life.
Heber J. Grant
The aim of the Church is to help the people to help themselves. Work is to be re-enthroned as the ruling principle of the lives of our Church membership
Heber J. Grant
Being an only child, my mother reared me very carefully.
Heber J. Grant
There is no true Latter-day Saint who would not rather bury a son or a daughter than to have him or her lose his or her chastity - realizing that chastity is of more value than anything else in all the world.
Heber J. Grant
Thank God we are not to be judged by the opinions of our fellows, but by the work that we do.
Heber J. Grant
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
No power on earth, no power beneath the earth, will ever prevent you or me or any Latter-day Saint from being saved, except ourselves
Heber J. Grant
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
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
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
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
If a man has the assurance within his own heart that he is worthy, and that he is laboring to the best of his ability to do good, he can stand up under the condemnation, the criticism and the censure of those by whom he is surrounded.
Heber J. Grant
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
