Our use of agency determines who we are and what we will be.

Elder Robert D. Hales, Ensign, May 2006

Impressions on the soul that come from the Holy Ghost are far more significant than a vision. When spirit speaks to spirit,

When you as husband and wife

recognize the divine design in your union when you feel deeply that God has brought you to each other your vision will be expanded and your understanding enhanced.

the imprint on the soul is far more difficult to erase.

President Joseph Fielding Smith, Improvement Era, Nov. 1966

The very choices made by reason of agency limit ones agency in the future. You cannot exercise agency and escape accountability and responsibility for each choice.
Elder Russell M. Nelson, Ensign, Nov. 2003

Elder Russell M. Nelson

The world might fool you into believing there is insufficient time to engage in both spiritual and secular learning. I warn you not to be deceived by these philosophies of men. Your learning about sacred things will facilitate even accelerate, your secular learning. {Elder L. Tom Perry, CES Fireside for Young Adults, March, 1995}

God asks us now to give up only those things which, if clung to, will destroy us.
Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, November 1974,

We can and must go often and carefully to the word of God. If we become casual in our study of the scriptures, we will become casual in our prayers.

Henry B. Eyring, Ensign, November 2001,

Death is a mere comma, not an exclamation point!

A revealing characteristic of a true prophet is that he declares a message from God. He makes no apology for the message, nor does he fear for any social repercussions which may lead to derision and persecution.
Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, Nov. 1981

Do you know how to recognize a true

friend? A real friend loves us and protects us. A true friend makes it easier for us to live the Gospel by being around him. A true friend does not make us choose between his way and the Lords way.
Elder Robert D. Hales, Ensign, May 1990
