James E. Faust
We acquire a testimony of the principles of the gospel by obediently trying to live them.
James E. Faust
As we look into the future, we are going to need to be stronger and more responsible for our choices in a world where people call evil good, and good evil. We do not choose wisely if we use our agency in opposition to God's will or to priesthood counsel. Tomorrow's blessings and opportunities depend on the choices we make today.
James E. Faust
Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength.
James E. Faust
Another false philosophy that appeals to the Mr. Hyde side of our natures is that peeking into pornography is harmless. This is a terrible deception. Pornography is as addictive as cocaine or any illegal drug.

James E. Faust
I hope we can all overcome any differences of culture, race, and language.
James E. Faust
The saving principles and doctrines of the Church are established, fixed, and unchangeable.
James E. Faust
Perseverance is demonstrated by those who keep going when the going gets tough, who don’t give up even when others say, It can’t be done.
James E. Faust
One of the advantages of having lived a long time is that you can often remember when you had it worse. I am grateful to have lived long enough to have known some of the blessings of adversity.
James E. Faust
In the enriching of marriage, the big things are the little things. There must be constant appreciation for each other and thoughtful demonstration of gratitude. A couple must encourage and help each other grow. Marriage is a joint quest for the good, the beautiful, and the divine
James E. Faust
Faith is the power, obedience is the price, love is the motive, the Spirit is the key and Christ is the reason.
James E. Faust
Obedience is the path to freedom.
James E. Faust
Self-mastery is a challenge for every individual. Only we can control our appetites and passions. Self-mastery cannot be bought by money or fame. It is the ultimate test of our character. It requires climbing out of the deep valleys of our lives and scaling our own Mount Everests.
James E. Faust
You cannot convert people beyond your own conversion.
James E. Faust
Noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven.
