We cannot have the fruits of the gospel without its roots.

Prior to high school, I played a lot of neighborhood football.

My parents were hardworking. They made every penny stretch as far as possible. That was probably the major reason everything they gave me was always two or three sizes too large.

Gauchos are like cowboys in the United States.

During my life I have heard many sermons on the Resurrection. I can recite the events of that first Easter Sunday. I have marked in my scriptures passages regarding the Resurrection.

In the lonely hours, I have spent a great deal of time thinking about eternal things. I have contemplated the comforting doctrines of eternal life.

Modern medicine uses imaging 'windows' such as magnetic resonance imaging scanners to bring into view otherwise unseen vital information that skilled physicians can use for the benefit of their patients.

Our computers have become windows through which we can gaze upon a world that is virtually without horizons or boundaries.

The notion that you can endanger your physical and mental health by letting strong passions go unsatisfied is a vicious falsehood.

For each human being, time is a necessary resource. It can neither be ignored nor changed.

Yes, the fullness of the gospel is a pearl of great price worth any effort.

Look at every Zion society from ancient times to present, and you find at its center love for others.

Why must we love the Lord? Because as we do so, we become refined, pure, and holy.

Prophets have no other purpose, no other mission except to serve God.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bears His name. He stands at its head and directs it through His chosen prophets.

Some people erroneously believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members are not Christian. We have difficulty understanding why anyone could accept and promote an idea that is so far from the truth.

Immorality, violence, and divorce, with their accompanying sorrows, plague society worldwide.

President Benson's mighty influence is felt in many ways. His timely and inspired counsel to read the precious Book of Mormon brought an added appreciation of this sacred scripture to all who followed his direction.

The Spirit is as operative today in communicating the gospel to all who seek the truth as it was on the day of Pentecost anciently.

This I have observed: There are no language barriers in the Church. There is a mighty power that transcends the power of messages conveyed by words alone, and this is the power of messages communicated by the Spirit to our hearts.

Our prayers can and should be focused on the practical, everyday struggles of life.

There are many reasons our prayers may lack power. Sometimes they become routine. Our prayers become hollow when we say similar words in similar ways over and over so often that the words become more of a recitation than a communication.

Every person on the earth today lived at one time in heavenly realms. We walked with our Heavenly Father. We knew Him. We heard His voice. We loved Him.

Charity must become a fundamental state of mind and heart that guides us in all we do.
