When we have the Spirit to direct us, we are capable of teaching with great power.

L. Tom Perry
I promise you, if you will heed the voice of warning of the Holy Ghost and will follow His direction, you will be blessed with the ministering of angels, which will add wisdom, knowledge, power, and glory to your life. Remember, the Lord is bound by solemn covenant to bless our lives according to our faithfulness.

We declare to the world that the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth. . . . We invite all to listen to the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ from us.

A good character is something you must make for yourself. It cannot be inherited from parents.
L. Tom Perry
Enduring to the end is definitely not a do-it-yourself project.
L. Tom Perry
God reveals to His prophets that there are moral absolutes. Sin will always be sin. Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments will always deprive us of His blessings. The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change. They are immutable and unchanging.
L. Tom Perry
Family is the center of life. It is the key to eternal happiness.
L. Tom Perry
Regarding Fasting: Have the faith to bind the Lord.
L. Tom Perry
Strong, proactive obedience is anything but weak or passive. It is the means by which we declare our faith in God and qualify ourselves to receive the powers of heaven. Obedience is a choice. It is a choice between our own limited knowledge and power and God’s unlimited wisdom and omnipotence.
L. Tom Perry
Teaching children the joy of honest labor is one of the greatest of all gifts you can bestow upon them. Let us also teach our children to see that the work assigned is carried to its completion and to take pride in what they accomplish.
L. Tom Perry
Today's complexities demand greater simplicity.
L. Tom Perry
Be certain that you easily clear the minimum standards for service as a missionary and that you are continually raising the bar.
L. Tom Perry
One of the better ways to simplify our lives is to follow the counsel we have so often received to live within our income, stay out of debt, and save for a rainy day. We should practice and increase our habits of thrift, industry, economy, and frugality. Members of a well-managed family do not pay interest they earn it.
L. Tom Perry
Prayer endows us with the power to draw near to our Eternal Father.
