More quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
The Church is not a monastery for the isolation of perfect people. It is more like a hospital provided for those who wish to get well.
Jeffrey R. Holland
No one of us is less treasured or cherished of God than another. I testify that he loves each of us--insecuritie s, anxieties, self-image, and all.
Jeffrey R. Holland
For 179 years [The Book of Mormon] has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other religious history – perhaps like no other book in any religious history- and still, it stands.
Jeffrey R. Holland
What we are shines more brightly than anything we say or do. If we are to fill the world with light, we must first face any tattered remnant of darkness that remains in our own souls.
Jeffrey R. Holland
In a world of unrest and fear, political turmoil and moral drift, I testify that Jesus is the Christ—that He is the living Bread and living Water—still, yet, and always the great Shield of safety in our lives.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Rights are best guarded when each person and group guards for others those rights they wish guarded for themselves.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Teach your children that many of the blessings of the Church are available to them because you and they give tithes and offerings to the Church. Teach them that those blessings could come virtually no other way.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Pray earnestly and fast with purpose and devotion. Some difficulties, like devils, do not come out save by fasting and by prayer. Ask in righteousness and you shall receive. Knock with conviction and it shall be opened unto you.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Along with filters on computers and a lock on affections, remember that the only real control in life is self-control.
Jeffrey R. Holland
To give ourselves totally to another person, as we do in marriage, is the most trusting step we take in any human relationship.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience.
Jeffrey R. Holland
In a world of discouragement, sorrow, and overmuch sin, in times when fear and despair seem to prevail, when humanity is feverish with no worldly physicians in sigh, I too say, Trust Jesus. Let Him still the tempest and ride upon the storm. Believe that He can lift mankind from its bed of affliction, in time and in eternity.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Pure Christlike love flowing from true righteousness can change the world.
Jeffrey R. Holland
God wants us to be stronger than we are--more fixed in our purpose, more certain of our commitments, eventually needing less coddling from Him, showing more willingness to shoulder some of the burden of His heavy load. In short, He wants us to be more like He is and, if you haven't noticed, some of us are not like that yet.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Don't do anything stupid.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Don't hyperventilate about something that happened at 9:00 in the morning when the grace of God is trying to reward you at 6:00 in the evening.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Even if you cannot always see that silver lining on your clouds, God can, for He is the very source of the light you seek. He does love you, and He knows your fears. He hears your prayers. He is your Heavenly Father, and surely He matches with His own the tears His children shed.

There is again a living prophet on the earth speaking in the name of the Lord. And how we need such guidance! Our times are turbulent and difficult. We see wars internationally and distress domestically. Neighbors all around us face personal heartaches and family sorrows. Legions know fear and troubles of a hundred kinds.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Stay in the race. Keep running. Keep walking. Keep praying. The Lord will renew your strength.
Jeffrey R. Holland
If we teach by the Spirit and you listen by the Spirit, some one of us will touch on your circumstance, sending a personal prophetic epistle just to you.
