"Often what passes for faith in this world is little more than gullibility. It is distressing to see how eager some people are to embrace fads and theories while rejecting or giving less credence and attention to the everlasting principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It is distressing how eagerly some rush into foolish or unethical behavior believing that God will somehow deliver them from the inevitable tragic consequences of their actions."

JOSEPH B. WIRTHLIN

Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

"As I have looked back over my life, it is clear to me that many decisions, some seemingly small at the time, and others with which I have wrestled recognizing their import, caused me to climb to higher planes than I would had I not yielded to the enticing of the Holy Spirit. Without this glorious gift we cannot comprehend the purpose of life or the great plan of the Eternal Father."

KENNETH JOHNSON

First Quorum of Seventy

"A woman of faith is confident because she understands the divine plan of our Heavenly Father and her role to bless lives. She is confident that any sacrifice she makes is worth something in an eternal sense. She knows about sacrifice from knowing of the life of the Savior."

MARGARET D. NADAULD

Former Young Women's president

"Both fun and happiness are fine, but certainly happiness is the most worth seeking. Happiness can encompass fun as well, but fun alone will not assure us true happiness."

CLAUDIO R.M. COSTA

Second Quorum of Seventy

"The establishment of Zion should be the aim of every member of this church. There are joys and blessings by enlisting in so noble a cause. The home is no longer a hotel but a place of peace, security and love."

KEITH B. McMULLIN
