- “This counsel was representative of President Hinckley’s approach to life. President Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shared the following observation about President Hinckley and his wife, Marjorie: They do not waste time pondering the past or fretting about the future. And they persevere in spite of adversity. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, also of the Quorum of the Twelve, commented: Things will work out may well be President Hinckley’s most repeated assurance to family, friends, and associates. Keep trying, he will say. Be believing. Be happy. Don’t get discouraged. Things will work out.” – Gordon B. Hinckley
