- “The Lord is not only a loving, caring Heavenly Father, but a wise one as well. He cares for His children and wants us to be happy and safe and cherished and fulfilled and free.” The Second Coming of the Lord by Gerald N. Lund
- “All that is required of us to make us perfectly safe under all circumstances of trouble or persecution, is to do the will of God, to be honest, faithful and to keep ourselves devoted to the principles that we have received; do right one by another; trespass upon no man’s rights; live by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God and his Holy Spirit will aid and assist us under all circumstances, and we will come out of the midst of it all abundantly blessed in our houses, in our families, in our flocks, in our fields and in every way God will bless us. He will give us knowledge upon knowledge, intelligence upon intelligence, wisdom upon wisdom.” Manual, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, Chapter 7, Faithfulness in Time of Trial from the Shadows into the Glorious Sunshine
