Marion G. Romney
Whenever I have a serious problem or some assignment of a creative nature...I always receive more assistance in the early morning hours than at any other time of the day.
Marion G. Romney
The whole problem is spirituality-not finances. Spiritually strong = welfare strong.
Marion G. Romney
No, the Lord doesn't really need us to take care of the poor, but we need this experience for it is only through our learning how to take care of each other that we develop within us the Christlike love and disposition necessary to qualify us to return to his presence.
Marion G. Romney
There were no pre-adamic men in the line of Adam... I am not a scientist. I do not profess to know anything but Jesus Christ, and him crucified, and the principles of his gospel. If, however, there are some things in the strata of the earth indicating there were men before Adam, they were not the ancestors of Adam.
Marion G. Romney
The possession of a true testimony is the most valuable possession that one could have. It gives one knowledge, the hope and assurance that one, through obedience, can be a partaker of all the promised blessings.
Marion G. Romney
Always keep your eye on the President of the church, and if he ever tells you to do anything, even if it is wrong, and you do it, the lord will bless you for it, but you don't need to worry. The lord will never let his mouthpiece lead the people astray.
Marion G. Romney
This gospel has often been spoken of as a way of life. This however is not quite accurate. Consisting as it does of the principles and ordinances necessary to man's exaltation it is not just a way of life, it is the one and only way of life by which men may accomplish the full purpose of their mortality.
Marion G. Romney
It is perfectly evident...that to thank the Lord in all things is not merely a courtesy, it is a commandment as binding upon us as any other commandment
Marion G. Romney
Receiving the Holy Ghost is the therapy which effects forgiveness and heals the sin-sick soul.
Marion G. Romney
Peace has been variously defined, but perhaps we might think of it as 'harmony within one's self, and with God and man.'
Marion G. Romney
Self-Reliance is a prerequisite to the complete freedom to act.
Marion G. Romney
The key to happiness is to get the spirit and keep it.
Marion G. Romney
But you don't need to worry. The Lord will never let his mouthpiece lead the people astray.
Marion G. Romney
The prime duty of help to the poor by the Church is not to bring temporal relief to their needs, but salvation to their souls.
Marion G. Romney
Service is not something we endure on this earth so we can earn the right to live in the celestial kingdom. Service is the very fiber of which an exalted life in the celestial kingdom is made.
Marion G. Romney
How can we give if there is nothing there?... Support and understanding cannot come from the emotionally starved. Teaching cannot come from the unlearned. And most important of all, spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually weak.
Marion G. Romney
There is an interdependence between those who have and those who have not. The process of giving exalts the poor and humbles the rich. In the process, both are sanctified.
Marion G. Romney
Pondering is, in my feeling, a form of prayer.
Marion G. Romney
Prayer is the means by which men communicate with God. Revelation is the means by which God communicates with men.
