LDS Quotes About Gratitude

"Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God’s love."
President Thomas S. Monson, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, October 2010 General Conference

"A grateful heart… comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives."

President Thomas S. Monson, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, October 2010 General Conference

"It is my prayer that in addition to all else for which we are grateful, we may ever reflect our gratitude for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His glorious gospel provides answers to life’s greatest questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where do our spirits go when we die? That gospel brings to those who live in darkness the light of divine truth."

President Thomas S. Monson, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, October 2010 General Conference

"King Benjamin’s teaching had a miraculous effect. Gratitude for what they had led to faith unto repentance. That led to forgiveness. That produced new gratitude. And then King Benjamin taught that, if we can remember and so remain grateful, we will retain a remission of our sins through all the losses and the gains of life."
President Henry B. Eyring, Remembrance And Gratitude, October 1989 General Conference

"Gratitude for the remission of sins is the seed of charity, the pure love of Christ."
President Henry B. Eyring, Remembrance And Gratitude, October 1989 General Conference

"You could have an experience with the gift of the Holy Ghost today. You could begin a private prayer with thanks. You could start to count your blessings, and then pause for a moment. If you exercise faith, and with the gift of the Holy Ghost, you will find that memories of other blessings will flood into your mind. If you begin to express gratitude for each of them, your prayer may take a little longer than usual. Remembrance will come. And so will gratitude."
President Henry B. Eyring, Remembrance And Gratitude, October 1989 General Conference

"The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests."
Elder David A. Bednar, Pray Always, October 2008 General Conference

Elder David A. Bednar, Pray Always, October 2008 General Conference

"In some quiet way, the expression and feelings of gratitude have a wonderful cleansing or healing nature. Gratitude brings warmth to the giver and the receiver alike."
Elder Robert D. Hale, Gratitude for the Goodness of God, April 1992 General Conference

"Gratitude expressed to our Heavenly Father in prayer for what we have brings a calming peace—a peace which allows us to not canker our souls for what we don’t have. Gratitude brings a peace that helps us overcome the pain of adversity and failure. Gratitude on a daily basis means we express appreciation for what we have now without qualification for what we had in the past or desire in the future. A recognition of and appreciation for our gifts and talents which have been given also allows us to acknowledge the need for help and assistance from the gifts and talents possessed by others."
Elder Robert D. Hale, Gratitude for the Goodness of God, April 1992 General Conference

LDS Quotes About Enduring to the End

“As you build your lives in obedience to the gospel and strive to achieve your goals, do not become discouraged by temporary setbacks and disappointments. Remember that ‘it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things.’ You will grow and learn by overcoming obstacles. The Lord has admonished all of us to ‘keep [His] commandments and endure to the end.’”

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Live in Obedience, April 1994 General Conference

"George Macdonald has said that God is easily pleased, but hard to satisfy. As a Father, God is delighted with our first and further steps, but He knows how straight, how narrow, and how long the ensuing path is. Again, how vital endurance!"
Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Endure it Well, April 1990 General Conference

"Often we do not know what we can endure until after a trial of our faith. We are also taught by the Lord that we will never be tested beyond that which we can endure"
Elder Robert D. Hales, Behold, We Count Them Happy Which Endure, April 1998 General Conference

"The basic requirements for enduring to the end include knowing who we are, children of God with a desire to return to His presence after mortality; understanding the purpose of life, to endure to the end and obtain eternal life; and living obediently with a desire and a determination to endure all things, having eternal vision. Eternal vision allows us to overcome opposition in our temporal state and, ultimately, achieve the promised rewards and blessings of eternal life."

Elder Robert D. Hales, Behold, We Count Them Happy Which Endure, April 1998 General Conference

"As individuals, we do not know when the end of mortality will come. We need to develop the ability to endure and complete our responsibilities of today, however difficult the days ahead may be."
Elder Robert D. Hales, Behold, We Count Them Happy Which Endure, April 1998 General Conference

“Your responsibility to endure is uniquely yours. But you are never alone. I testify that the lifting power of the Lord can be yours if you will ‘come unto Christ’ and ‘be perfected in him.’”

Elder Russell M. Nelson, Endure And Be Lifted Up, April 1997 General Conference

“This power to endure is critical in those two most important relationships we enter into in life. One is marriage; the other is membership in the Lord’s Church.”

Elder Russell M. Nelson, Endure And Be Lifted Up, April 1997 General Conference

"Each of you who really wants to endure to the glorious end that our Heavenly Father has foreseen should firmly establish some personal priorities. With many interests competing for your loyalty, you need to be careful first to stay safely 'on the boat.' No one can serve two masters."
Elder Russell M. Nelson, Endure And Be Lifted Up, April 1997 General Conference

“Enduring to the end is not just a matter of passively tolerating life’s difficult circumstances or ‘hanging in there.’ Ours is an active religion, helping God’s children along the strait and narrow path to develop their full potential during this life and return to Him one day. Viewed from this perspective, enduring to the end is exalting and glorious, not grim and gloomy. This is a joyful religion, one of hope, strength, and deliverance.”

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Have We Not Reason To Rejoice?, October 2007 General Conference

"The blessings that come to us from enduring to the end in this life are real and very significant, and for the life to come they are beyond our comprehension."

LDS Quotes About Pornography

"Let us all improve our personal behavior and redouble our efforts to protect our loved ones and our environment from the onslaught of pornography."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Pornography, April 2005 General Conference

"Pornographic or erotic stories and pictures are worse than filthy or polluted food. The body has defenses to rid itself of unwholesome food. With a few fatal exceptions, bad food will only make you sick but do no permanent harm. In contrast, a person who feasts upon filthy stories or pornographic or erotic pictures and literature records them in this marvelous retrieval system we call a brain. The brain won’t vomit back filth. Once recorded, it will always remain subject to recall, flashing its perverted images across your mind and drawing you away from the wholesome things in life."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Pornography, April 2005 General Conference

"Don’t accommodate any degree of temptation. Prevent sin and avoid having to deal with its inevitable destruction. So, turn it off! Look away! Avoid it at all costs. Direct your thoughts in wholesome paths. Remember your covenants and be faithful in temple attendance."

Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Pornography, April 2005 General Conference

"[Pornography] is like a raging storm, destroying individuals and families, utterly ruining what was once wholesome and beautiful."

President Gordon B. Hinckley, A Tragic Evil Among Us, October 2004 General Conference

"Plead with the Lord out of the depths of your soul that He will remove from you the addiction which enslaves you. And may you have the courage to seek the loving guidance of your bishop and, if necessary, the counsel of caring professionals."

President Gordon B. Hinckley, A Tragic Evil Among Us, October 2004 General Conference

"In our day the dreadful influence of pornography is like unto a plague sweeping across the world, infecting one here and one there, relentlessly trying to invade every home, most frequently through the husband and father."
President Boyd K. Packer, Cleaning The Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference

"Pornography will always repel the Spirit of Christ and will interrupt the communications between our Heavenly Father and His children and disrupt the tender relationship between husband and wife."
President Boyd K. Packer, Cleaning The Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference

"Priesthood holders carry with them the antidote to remove the terrible images of pornography and to wash away guilt. The priesthood has the power to unlock the influence of our habits, even to unchain from addiction, however tight the grip. It can heal over the scars of past mistakes."
President Boyd K. Packer, Cleaning The Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference

"Why is lust such a deadly sin? Well, in addition to the completely Spirit-destroying impact it has upon our souls, I think it is a sin because it defiles the highest and holiest relationship God gives us in mortality—the love that a man and a woman have for each other and the desire that couple has to bring children into a family intended to be forever. Someone said once that true love must include the idea of permanence. True love endures. But lust changes as quickly as it can turn a pornographic page or glance at yet another potential object for gratification walking by, male or female. True love we are absolutely giddy about—as I am about Sister Holland; we shout it from the housetops. But lust is characterized by shame and stealth and is almost pathologically clandestine—the later and darker the hour the better, with a double-bolted door just in case. Love makes us instinctively reach out to God and other people. Lust, on the other hand, is anything but godly and celebrates self-indulgence. Love comes with open hands and open heart; lust comes with only an open appetite."
Elder Jefferey R. Holland, Place No More For the Enemy of My Soul, April 2010 General Conference

"Most people in trouble end up crying, 'What was I thinking?' Well, whatever they were thinking, they weren’t thinking of Christ. Yet, as members of His Church, we pledge every Sunday of our lives to take upon ourselves His name and promise to 'always remember him.' So let us work a little harder at remembering Him."
Elder Jefferey R. Holland, Place No More For the Enemy of My Soul, April 2010 General Conference

LDS Quotes About Agency

"Men and women receive their agency as a gift from God, but their liberty and, in turn, their eternal happiness come from obedience to His laws."
Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference

"There is also an age-old excuse: 'The devil made me do it.' Not so! He can deceive you and mislead you, but he does not have the power to force you or anyone else to transgress or to keep you in transgression."

President Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing The Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference

"Agency used righteously allows light to dispel the darkness and enables us to live with joy and happiness."
Elder Robert D. Hales, To Act for Ourselves: The Gift and Blessings of Agency, October 2006 General Conference

"There is something very liberating when an individual determines of his or her own free will to be obedient to our Father and our God and expresses that willingness to Him in prayer."
President Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing The Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference

"Whenever we choose to come unto Christ, take His name upon us, and follow His servants, we progress along the path to eternal life."
Elder Robert D. Hales, Agency: Essential to the Plan of Life, October 2010 General Conference

"The cost of the Atonement was borne by the Lord without compulsion, for agency is a sovereign principle. According to the plan, agency must be honored. It was so form the beginning, from Eden."

Elder D. Todd Christofferson, Moral Discipline, October 2009 General Conference

"Life is meant ot be a test to see if we will keep the commandments of God. We are free to obey or to ignore the spirit and the letter of the law. But the agency granted to man is a moral agency. We are not free to break our covenants and escape the consequences."

LDS Quotes About Obedience

"There are rules and laws to help ensure our physical safety. Likewise, the Lord has provided guidelines and commandments to help ensure our spiritual safety so that we might successfully navigate this often-treacherous mortal existence and return eventually to our Heavenly Father."

President Thomas S. Monson, Obedience Brings Blessings, April 2013 General Conference

"Obedience is a hallmark of prophets; it has provided strength and knowledge to them throughout the ages. It is essential for us to realize that we, as well, are entitled to this source of strength and knowledge. It is readily available to each of us today as we obey God’s commandments."
President Thomas S. Monson, Obedience Brings Blessings, April 2013 General Conference

Elder D. Todd Christofferson, The Power of Covenants, April 2009 General Conference

"Obedience gives us greater control over our lives, greater capacity to come and go, to work and create. Of course, age, accident, and illnesses inevitably take their toll, but even so, our obedience to this gospel law enhances our capacity to deal with these challenges."

Elder D. Todd Christofferson, The Power of Covenants, April 2009 General Conference

"Divine covenants make strong Christians. I urge each one to qualify for and receive all the priesthood ordinances you can and then faithfully keep the promises you have made by covenant. In times of distress, let your covenants be paramount and let your obedience be exact. Then you can ask in faith, nothing wavering, according to your need, and God will answer. He will sustain you as you work and watch. In His own time and way He will stretch forth his hand to you, saying, 'Here am I.'"

Elder D. Todd Christofferson, The Power of Covenants, April 2009 General Conference

"The happiness of the Latter-day Saints, the peace of the Latter-day Saints, the progress of the Latter-day Saints, the prosperity of the Latter-day Saints, and the eternal salvation and exaltation of this people lie in walking in obedience to the counsels of the priesthood of God."

"God reveals to His prophets that there are moral absolutes. Sin will always be sin. Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments will always deprive us of His blessings."

Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference

"In a world where the moral compass of society is faltering, the restored gospel of Jesus Christ never wavers, nor should its stakes and wards, its families, or its individual members. We must not pick and choose which commandments we think are important to keep but acknowledge all of God’s commandments. We must stand firm and steadfast, having perfect confidence in the Lord’s consistency and perfect trust in His promises."

Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference

Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference
