Danh ngôn của Gordon B. Hinckley (Sứ mệnh: 9)

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Respect for self is the beginning of cultivating virtue in men and women.
When all is said and done, the greatest satisfaction you'll have in this life as you grow old will be seeing your children grow in righteousness and faith and goodness as citizens of the society of which they are a part.
Knowledge, learning, is an eternal thing.
You can't build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you're going to have a strong superstructure.
We all know that education unlocks the door of opportunity for the young.
How grateful I am for the law of tithing. It is the Lord's law of finance.
I am satisfied that every man or woman who goes to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and faith leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman.
Pray in faith.
The gospel is not a philosophy of repression, as so many regard it. It is a plan of freedom that gives discipline to appetite and direction to behavior.
Missionary work has never been easy, and yet the joyful rewards cannot be equaled by any other experience.
When you are young, do not get involved in steady dating. When you reach an age where you think of marriage, then is the time to become so involved.
Meekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.
Sister Hinckley and I are learning that the so-called golden years are laced with lead.
I would enjoy sitting in a rocker... listening to soft music and contemplating the things of the universe. But such activity offers no challenge and makes no contribution.
Marriage, in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other, but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have.
Where ever the spirit of Christ is known, there is much of good will, of mutual respect, of love and appreciation and kindness.
As we give presents at Christmas, we need to recognize that sharing our time and ourselves is such an important part of giving.
I am suggesting that as we go through life, we 'accentuate the positive.' I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort.
The major work of the world is not done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives, who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner.
There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements.
Some of our finest work comes through service to others.
I do not fear truth. I welcome it. But I wish all of my facts to be in their proper context.
I hope that if you are employed full-time, you are doing it to ensure that basic needs are met and not simply to indulge a taste for an elaborate home, fancy cars, and other luxuries.
Every good citizen adds to the strength of a nation.
I thank the Lord for the great principle of repentance and forgiveness.
To you wives who are constantly complaining and see only the dark side of life, and feel that you are unloved and unwanted, look into your own hearts and minds. If there is something wrong, turn about. Put a smile on your faces. Make yourselves more attractive. Brighten your outlook.
A nation will rise no higher than the strength of its homes.
My wife once said that one of her great ambitions was to walk down the streets of Hong Kong with her children. So we all went to Asia on one occasion. Then she said she'd like to walk down the streets of Jerusalem with her children. So we arranged our family finances and all went to Jerusalem.
Do you feel gloomy? Lift your eyes. Stand on your feet. Say a few words of appreciation and love to the Lord. Be positive.
There would be no Christmas if there was no Easter.
