“Lest the (following) be lightly passed over, let me pause here to point out a common error in the mind of man – that is, the tendency when someone speaks of faithfulness or success in one thing or another, to think ‘me’, and when someone mentions failure and neglect, to think ‘them’. But I ask us all honestly evaluate our performance in scripture study. It is a common thing to have a few passages of scripture at our disposal, floating in our minds, as it were, and thus to have the illusion that we know a great about the gospel. In this sense, having a little knowledge can be a problem indeed. In this sense, having a little knowledge can be a problem indeed. I am convinced that each of us, at the some time in our lives, must discover the scriptures for ourselves – and not just discover them once, but rediscover them again and again.”~ Spencer W. Kimball
“All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not. The devil has no power over us only as we let him; the moment we revolt at anything which comes from God, the devil takes power.” President Joseph Smith, WJS p60; standardised
“With all our doing, with all of our leading, with all of teaching the most important thing we can do for those whom we lead is to cultivate in their hearts a living, vital, vibrant testimony and knowledge of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, the Author of salvation, He who atoned for the sins of the world and opened the way of salvation and eternal life. I would hope in all we do we should somehow nourish the testimony of or people concerning the Savior. I am satisfied–I know it is so–that whenever a man has a true witness in his heart of the living reality of the Lord Jesus Christ, all else will come together as it should. . . . That is the root from which all virtue springs among those who call themselves Latter-day Saints.” President Gordon B. Hinkley, BYU Married students’ regional Conference 10 Feb 1996
