A rebirth out of spiritual adversity causes us to become new creatures.
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
I believe that God has opened up these treasures on intelligence to enhance His purposes on the earth.
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

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
We should not allow our personal values to erode, even if others think we are peculiar.
James E. Faust

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
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
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
It is a denial of the divinity within us to doubt our potential and our possibilities.
James E. Faust
Noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven.
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
We perhaps need to snatch happiness in little pieces, learning to recognize the elements of happiness and then treasuring them while they last.
James E. Faust
The gap between what is popular and what is righteous is widening.
James E. Faust
If you take each challenge one step at a time, with faith in every footstep, your strength and understanding will increase.
