More quotes by Howard W. Hunter
What a glorious thing is life, surrounded by the beauties of the world in which we live.
Howard W. Hunter
Those things which we call extraordinary, remarkable, or unusual may make history, but they do not make real life. After all, to do well those things which God ordained to be the common lot of all mankind, is the truest greatness. To be a successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful general or a successful statesman.
Howard W. Hunter
The real Christmas comes to him who has taken Christ into his life as a moving, dynamic, vitalizing force. The real spirit of Christmas lies in the life and mission of the Master.
Howard W. Hunter
It is the deepest desire of my heart to have every member of the Church worthy to enter the temple.

Look to the temple of the Lord as the great symbol of your membership.
Howard W. Hunter
To do one's best in the face of the commonplace struggles of life, and possibly in the face of failures, and to continue to endure and persevere with the ongoing difficulties of life - when those struggles and tasks contribute to the progress and happiness of others and the eternal salvation of one's self - this is true greatness.

To discipline ourselves through fasting brings us in tune with God, and fast day provides an occasion to set aside the temporal so that we might enjoy the higher qualities of the spiritual. As we fast on that day we learn and better understand the needs of those who are less fortunate.
Howard W. Hunter
Courage is acting in spite of fear.

Let us be a temple-attending people. Attend the temple as frequently as personal circumstances allow. Keep a picture of a temple in your home that your children may see it. Teach them about the purposes of the House of the Lord. Have them plan from their earliest years to go there and to remain worthy of that blessing.
Howard W. Hunter
If we will be true and faithful to our principles, committed to a life of honesty and integrity, then no king or contest or fiery furnace will be able to compromise us. For the success of the kingdom of God on earth, may we stand as witnesses for Him at all times and in all things, and in all places that we may be in, even until death.
Howard W. Hunter
The family is the most important unit in time and in eternity and, as such, transcends every other interest in life.
Howard W. Hunter
Those who are filled with the love of Christ do not seek to force others to do better, they inspire others to do better.
Howard W. Hunter
If you feel that . . . what you do this year or in the years to come does not make you very famous, take heart. Most of the best people who ever lived weren't very famous either.
Howard W. Hunter
I have learned that those who engage in family history research and then perform the temple ordinance work for those whose names they have found will know the additional joy of receiving both halves of the blessing.
Howard W. Hunter
Faith is the element that builds the bridge in the absence of concrete evidence.
Howard W. Hunter
While waiting for promised blessings, one should not mark time, for to fail to move forward is to some degree a retrogression. Be anxiously engaged in good causes, including your own development.
Howard W. Hunter
Tenderness and respect-never selfishness-must be the guiding principles in the intimate relationship between husband and wife
Howard W. Hunter
How sacredly do [we] regard the good name of another?...Do we pass on spicy bits of entertaining conversation...repeating rumors and stories which have not been submitted to the test of truth?
Howard W. Hunter
The real spirit of Christmas lies in the life and mission of the Master.
Howard W. Hunter
Tender expressions of love and affection toward children are as much the responsibility of the father as the mother. Tell your children you love them.
