"My promise to you who pray and serve the Lord cannot be that you will have every blessing you may wish for yourself and your family. But I can promise you that the Savior will draw close to you and bless you and your family with what is best. You will have the comfort of His love and feel the answer of His drawing closer as you reach out your arms in giving service to others. As you bind up the wounds of those in need and offer the cleansing of His Atonement to those who sorrow in sin, the Lord's power will sustain you. His arms are outstretched with yours to succor and bless the children of our Heavenly Father, including those in your family." -President Henry B. Eyring
"Fill your life with service to others. As you lose your life in the service of Father in Heaven's children, Satan's temptations lose power in your life." -Elder Richard G. Scott

"Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved." -President Thomas S Monson
"As His followers, we cannot do a mean or shoddy or ungracious thing without tarnishing His image. Nor can we do a good and gracious and generous act without burnishing more brightly the symbol of Him whose name we have taken upon ourselves. And so our lives must become a meaningful expression, the symbol of our declaration of our testimony of the Living Christ, the Eternal Son of the Living God. It is that simple, my brethren and sisters, and that profound and we'd better never forget it." -President Gordon B Hinckley, "The Symbol of Our Faith," Ensign April 2005

"I remember my mother, age 90 or so, cooking in her condominium kitchen and then exiting with a tray of food. I asked her where she was going. She replied, 'Oh, I am taking some food to the elderly.' I thought to myself, 'Mother, you are the elderly.' I can never express enough gratitude for my parents, who were my prime gospel teachers." -Tad D Callister, Sunday School General President, "Parents: The Prime Gospel Teachers of Their Children," October 2014

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports care wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails, from helping to weed someones garden. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." -Marjorie Pay Hinckley
