“Surely it should give us to think of how casually we sometimes give to satan, who could not control his own ego in the pre-mortal world, such awful control over our egos here. We often let the adversary do indirectly now what we refused to let him do directly then.”
Neil A. Maxwell – We will Prove Here With p.45
“We are not expected to resist sin by will power and personal resolve alone… rather as we come to gain that life which is in Christ. A life that comes as we seek for the spirit of the Lord – we receive the enabling power which extends to us the strength to forsake and overcome a power which we could not have generated on our own.”
Robert C. Millet – The Only Sure Foundation p. 22
“One of the greatest mysteries of mortality is why mankind fails to learn from history.”
L. Tom Perry – Ensign, November 1992 p.16
“What if the day of His coming were tomorrow? If we knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow what would we do today? What confessions would we make? What practices would we discontinue? What forgiveness would we extend? What testimonies would we bear? If we would do those things then, why not now? Why not seek peace, while peace can be obtained.”
Dallin H. Oaks – Ensign, May 2004
“Pride creates a noise within us which makes the quiet voice of the spirit hard to hear.”
Henry B. Eyring – Ensign, November 2001 p.16
“A disciple of Christ is one who is learning to be like Christ. Learning to think, feel and act as he does… No other disciple compares in either requirements or rewards. It involves the total transformation of a person from the state of the natural man to that of a saint, one who loves the Lord and serves with all his heart, might, mind and strength.”
L. Tom Perry – Ensign, November 2000 p.61
