"The words of scripture only point to the types of truth that beacon us into the treasure house. The words can stimulate inquiry to which the Holy Ghost can respond with an expanding vision that transcends language."
--M. Catherine Thomas
"To every bruised, despairing, distraught soul-for everyone who feels overwhelmed by his or her own flaws and failures and frailities-the Lord has made a promise. If we will only repent and not give up on ourselves, he will do a miracle. He will create in you a clean heart.
For his own reasons, the Lord provides answers to some questions placed here and there throughout the scriptures. We are to find them. We are to earn them."
--Elder Boyd K Packer
"Let me this very moment begin anew, and now say with all my heart, "I will forsake my sins and be righteous."
--Joseph Smith
"Anything that makes me feel small and wretched does not come from God, who desires most of all for me to remember whose daughter I am and what glorious vista's await me."
--M. Catherine Thomas
"If there is a desire, a commandment, an order (that you read in scripture) then be off at once to do accordingly when you read God's word, it is not the obscure passages which impose a duty on you, but that which you understand and with that you must instantly comply. God's word is given in order that you shall act in accordance with, not in order that you shall practice the art of interpreting it."
--Soren Kierkeguard
"God is giving away the secrets of the universe. But are we listening?'
--Elder Neil A. Maxwell
"Men and women who turn their lives over to God will find that he can make more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, and increase their opportunities."
--President Ezra Taft Benson
"The standard is clear. If something we think, hear or do distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should stop thinking, seeing, hearing or doing that thing."
--Elder David A. Bednar
