I have been collecting some of my favorite quotes from the Prophet and Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ever since I started taking Sister Woodger's REL C 333 class. And here are some of my favorites
"If you have any question about wheter a particular movie, book, or other form of entertainment is appropriate, don't see it, don't read it, don't participate." President Thomas S. Monson Preparation Brings Blessings
"Don't put your eternal life at risk. Keep the commandments of God. If you have sinned, the sooner you begin to make your way back, the sooner you will find the sweet peace and joy that come with the miracle of forgiveness. Happiness comes from living the way the Lord wants you to live and from service to God and others." President Thomas S. Monson Preparation Brings Blessings
"We help God's children best by providing ways to build faith in Jesus Christ and His restored gospel when they are young. And then we must help rekindle that faith quickly before it dims as they wander off the path." Presdient Henry B. Eyring Help Them on Their Way Home
"If the children are strengthened with faith and testimony, they will be less likely to need rescue as teenagers. They realize that a strong spiritual foundation can make the difference for a lifetime." President Henry B. Eyring Help Them on Their Way Home
"I hope that we welcome and love all of God's children, including those who might dress, look, speak, or just do things differently." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf You Are My Hands

"In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and appreciate our difference as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship." Priesdent Dieter F. Uchtdorf Of Things That Matter Most
"Some people can't get along witj themselves. They criticize and belittle themselves all day long until they begin to hate themselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to know yourself better. Walk in nature, watch a sunrise, enjoy God's creations, ponder the truths of the restored gospel, and find out what they mean for you personally. Learn to see yourself as Heavenly Father sees you- as His precous daughter or son with divine potential." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Of Things That Matter Most
"If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most. Strength comes not from frantic activity but from being settled on a firm foundation of truth and light... Let us simplify our lives a little. Let us make the changes necessary to refocus our lives on sublime beauty of the simple, humble path of Christian discipleship- the path that leads always toward a life of meaning, gladness, and peace." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Of Things That Matter Most
"Every mortal has at least a casul if not intimate relationship with the sin of pride. No one has avoided it; few overcome it." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Pride and the Priesthood
"As priesthood bearers, we must realize that all of God's children wear the same jersey. Our team is the brotherhood of man. This mortal life is our playing field. Our goal is to learn to love God and to extend that same love toward out fellowman." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Pride and the Priesthood
"Pride is a switch that turns off priesthood power. Humility is a switch that turns it on.... Humility does not mean convincing ourselves that we are worthless, meaningless, or of little value. Nor does it mean denying or witholding the talents God has given us. We don't discover humility by thinking less of ourselves; we discover humility by thinking less about ourselves." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Pride and the Priesthood
"Patience is not passive resignaton, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can- working, hoping, exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!" President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Continue in Patience

"Happily ever after is not something found only in fairy tales. You can have it! It is available for you!" President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Your Happily Ever After
"The day will come when you turn the final pages of your own glorious story; there you will read and experience the fulfillment of those blessed and wonderful words: 'And they lived happily ever after'" President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Your Happily Ever After
"The old saying, 'The Lord is voting for me, and Lucifer is voting against me, but it is my vote that counts' describes a doctrinal certainty that our agency is more powerful than the adversary's will. Agency is precious. We can foolishly, blindly give it away, but it cannot be forcibly taken from us." Boyd K. Packer Cleansing the Inner Vessel
"For those who desire it, there is a way back. Repentance is like unto a detergent. Even groun-in stains of sin will come out." Boyd K. Packer Cleansing the Inner Vessel
