"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."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"A happy marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"None of us will become perfect in a day or a month or a year. We will not accomplish it in a lifetime, but we can begin now, starting with our more obvious weaknesses and gradually converting them to strengths as we go forward with our lives."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"None of us will become perfect in a day or a month or a year. We will not accomplish it in a lifetime, but we can begin now, starting with our more obvious weaknesses and gradually converting them to strengths as we go forward with our lives. This quest may be a long one: in fact, it will be lifelong. It may be fraught with many mistakes, with falling down and getting back up again. And it will take much effort. But we must not sell ourselves short. We must make a little extra effort. We would be wise to kneel before our God in supplication. He will help us. He will bless us. He will comfort and sustain us. He will help us to do more, and be more, than we can ever accomplish or be on our own."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"There would be no Christmas if there was no Easter."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do good and great things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it. believe that no storm is so great that you cannot weather it. Believe in yourself."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"You have nothing in this world more precious than your children. When you grow old, when your hair turns white and your body grows weary, when you are prone to sit in a rocker and meditate on the things of your life, nothing will be so important as the question of how your children have turned out."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"Education is the key which will unlock the door of opportunity for you."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"You cannot plow a field by turning it over in your mind. To begin, begin."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"“You have nothing in this world more precious than your children. When you grow old, when your hair turns white and your body grows weary, when you are prone to sit in a rocker and meditate on the things of your life, nothing will be so important as the question of how your children have turned out.”"

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

"As we give presents at Christmas, we need to recognize that sharing our time and ourselves is such an important part of giving."

"Can anyone doubt that good music is godly or that there can be something of the essence of heaven in great art?"
