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.

More quotes by James E. Faust
It is a denial of the divinity within us to doubt our potential and our possibilities.
James E. Faust
In recent years, many seem to have spent their lives protesting. Perhaps they have felt to do this because they have felt repressed or wished to bring about change or have acted out of selfish reasons, thinking that if they tore the house down they might end up with a shingle.
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
The Holy Ghost is the greatest guarantor of inward peace in our unstable world.
James E. Faust
I urge the husbands and fathers of this church to be the kind of a man your wife would not want to be without.
James E. Faust
Private choices are not private they all have public consequences...Our society is the sum total of what millions of individuals do in their private lives. That sum total of private behavior has worldwide public consequences of enormous magnitude. There are no completely private choices.
James E. Faust
Almost every day brings opportunities to perform unselfish acts for others. Such acts are unlimited and can be as simple as a kind word, a helping hand, or a gracious smile.
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
In addition to temples, surely another holy place on earth ought to be our homes. The feelings of holiness in my home prepared me for feelings of holiness in the temple.
James E. Faust
The temple was a place of learning for the Savior when He was on the earth it was very much a part of His life. Temple blessings are available once again in our day.
James E. Faust
If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.
James E. Faust
Integrity is the value we set on ourselves. It is a fulfillment of the duty we owe ourselves. An honorable man or woman will personally commit to live up to certain self-imposed expectations. They need no outside check or control. They are honorable in their inner core.
James E. Faust
The depth of our belief in the Resurrection and the Atonement of the Savior will, I believe, determine the measure of courage and purpose with which we meet life's challenges.
James E. Faust
You must have the strength to discipline yourselves so that you can accomplish your goals and enhance your natural strengths. Habits of self-discipline formed while you are young will become part of the makeup of your character for the rest of your lives.
James E. Faust
The principle of work is part of self-discipline. Now, my dear young sisters, I have lived a good many years longer than you, but even back in Grandpa's time there was something to make you want to lie down and go to sleep-they called it work.
James E. Faust
There is no greater good in all the world than motherhood.
James E. Faust
What are we doing to keep the light shining in our own eyes and countenances Much of that light comes from our discipline dedication and consecration.
James E. Faust
Leaders receive and give assignments. This is an important part of the necessary principle of delegating. No one appreciates a willing volunteer more than I, but the total work cannot be done as the Lord wants it done merely by those doing the work who may be present at meetings.
James E. Faust
If we can find forgiveness in our hearts for those who have caused us hurt and injury, we will rise to a higher level of self-esteem and well-being.
James E. Faust
We should not allow our personal values to erode, even if others think we are peculiar.
James E. Faust
