Happiness in marriage and parenthood can exceed a thousand times any other happiness
James E. Faust
I believe that God has opened up these treasures on intelligence to enhance His purposes on the earth.
James E. Faust
Listen to your parents. Be obedient to them whether you agree with them or not. They love you more than anyone else and have your best interests at heart.
James E. Faust
Some parents have difficulty expressing their love physically or vocally. I do not ever recall my own father using the words, Son, I love you, but he showed it in a thousand ways which were more eloquent than words. He rarely missed a practice, a game, a race, or any activity in which his sons participated.
James E. Faust
It is a denial of the divinity within us to doubt our potential and our possibilities.
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
Missionary work will never be what it might be without the help of the members. Stake presidents need to feel some responsibility and ownership of missionary work. The stake president is the one who has the presiding priesthood keys over both the members and non-members in his stake. The missionaries are his helpers.
James E. Faust
As a young man, I lived through the Great Depression, when banks failed and so many lost their jobs and homes and went hungry. I was fortunate to have a job at a canning factory that paid 25 cents an hour.
James E. Faust
If you take each challenge one step at a time, with faith in every footstep, your strength and understanding will increase.
James E. Faust
There is no greater good in all the world than motherhood. The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation.
James E. Faust
Some, like Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens's A Christmas Carol, have a hard time loving anyone, even themselves, because of their selfishness. Love seeks to give rather than to get. Charity towards and compassion for others is a way to overcome too much self-love
James E. Faust
Every father and mother are the family's store keepers. They should store whatever their family would like to have in case of an emergency...(and) God will sustain us through our trials.
James E. Faust
The gap between what is popular and what is righteous is widening.
James E. Faust
The Holy Ghost is the greatest guarantor of inward peace in our unstable world.
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
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 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
Believing requires action.
James E. Faust
A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
James E. Faust
There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, the purify, and thus they bless.
