- People are like stained glass windows. They glow and sparkle when it is sunny and bright; but when the sun goes down their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
- There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of one small candle.
- "Faith is really believing that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live, and they are in charge of this world. They know me. They love me. They have a plan for my future. I will obey the commandments, work hard, and trust in their plan. Sooner or later, everything will be okay. ...Sooner or later, everything will be wonderful."
--- Sister Virginia Pearce
General YW Meeting March 1994
- I have faith in Him, not in my faith.
- It is not the greatness of my faith that moves mountains, but my faith in the greatness of God.
- A Traveler crossed a frozen stream
In trembling fear one day;
Later a teamster drove across,
And whistled all the way.
Great faith and little faith alike
Were granted safe convoy;
One had the pangs of needless fear,
The other all the joy.
- Faith, hope, and charity are ACTIVE principles, not passive ones. If we do not DO them, we don't HAVE them. It's that simple.
--- Janet Tanner
- Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.
--- 1 Nephi 7:12
- Your faith will perform miracles, especially when you get your hands and feet involved.
--- Spencer W. Kimball
- But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
--- James 1:22
- The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched but are felt in the heart.
- Does your faith move mountains, or do mountains move your faith?
- Faith is a gift of God. It is not a material that can been seen, heard, smelled, tastes, or touched; but is as real as anything that can be perceived with these senses. One can be aware of Faith as easily as one can be aware of earth. Faith is a certain as is the existence of water. Faith is as sure as the taste of an apple, the fragrance of a rose, the sound of thunder, the sight of the sun, the feel of a loving touch. Hope is a wish, a longing for something not now possessed, but with the expectation of getting it. Faith adds surety to the expectation of hope.
- He who loses money loses much;
he who loses a friend loses more,
but he who loses faith loses all.
- A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in little things is a great thing.

- Study the scriptures. They offer one of the best sources we have to keep in touch with the Spirit of the Lord. One of the ways I have gained my sure knowledge that Jesus is the Christ is through my study of the scriptures."
--- M. Russell Ballard
Ensign, May 1987, p. 15
- The testimony you have today will not be your testimony of tomorrow. Your testimony is either going to grow and grow until it becomes as the brightness of the sun, or it is going to diminish to nothing, depending on what you do about it."
--- Harold B. Lee
New Era Feb. 1971. p.3

Planting the Seed - Alma 32:28
"Now if ye give place that a seed be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed ... behold, it will begin to swell within your brests."
Nourishing the Seed - Alma 37:37
"Now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it will get root, and grow up, and bring
forth fruit."
Feasting Upon the Fruit - Alma 32:42
"And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet .... and pure above all that be pure, and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled that ye hunger not neither shall ye thirst.
