• President N. Eldon Tanner, from the Book “Priesthood” printed in 1981, “…as Brigham Young explained, that the priesthood is the law by which the worlds are, were, and will be brought into existence and peopled. It gives them their revolutions, their days, weeks, months, years, and seasons. He further declared the priesthood to be “a perfect system of government, of laws and ordinances, by which we can be prepared to pass from one gate to another, and from one sentinel to another, until we go into the presence of our Father and God.” Journal of Discourses 1: 139
• “The Priesthood of Almighty God is intended to do more than allow men to preside over and conduct meetings; oversee the ordinances of salvation; and confer, ordain, and set apart to offices and callings, as important and vital as these labors are. The priesthood is the very power of God, the power by which the gospel is preached, the sick are healed, the dead are raised, and by which souls who have exercised a lively faith and hope in Jesus Christ are everlastingly redeemed and glorified. It is God’s power. He has chosen in his mercy and wisdom to delegate it to worthy boys and men. That delegation allows us to act in the place and stead of our Savior, to strive to so live that we may speak what he would speak, act as he would act, and bless as he would bless. It is a divine investiture of authority. It is a sacred trust.” Men of Influence, Robert L. Millet, Preface page ix
• “Indeed, if our definition of sacrament is that act of claiming, sharing, and exercising God’s own inestimable power, then I know of virtually no other divine privilege so routinely given to us all- women or men, ordained or unordained, Latter-Day Saint or non-Latter-day Saint- than the miraculous and majestic power of transmitting life, the unspeakable, unfathomable, unbroken power of procreation. There are those special moments in our lives when the other, more formal ordinances of the gospel- the sacraments, if you will- allow us to feel the grace and grandeur of God’s power. Many are on-time experiences (such as our own confirmation or our own marriage), and some are repeatable (such as administering to the sick or doing ordinance work for others in the temple). But I know of nothing so earth-shatteringly powerful and yet so universally and unstintingly given to us as the God-given power available in every one of us from our early teen years on to create a human body, that wonder of all wonders, a genetically and spiritually unique being never before seen in the history of the world and never to be duplicated again in all the ages of eternity: a child, our child- with eyes and ears and fingers and toes and a future of unspeakable grandeur.” Of Souls, Symbols and Sacraments, Jeffrey R. Holland

• “There is an inexhaustible supply in the Universe. Begin to be aware of it. Take the time to count the stars on a clear evening, or the grains of sand in one handful, the leaves on one branch of a tree, the raindrops on a windowpane, the seeds in one tomato. Each seed is capable of producing a whole vine with unlimited tomatoes on it. Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find that it increases.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 114
• “In fact, the quality of our attention determines the quality of other people’s thinking.Attention, driven by deep respect and genuine interest, and without interruption, is the key to a Thinking Environment. Attention is that powerful. It generates thinking. It is an act of creation.”— Nancy Kline “Ten Components of a Thinking Environment”
• “Do not limit yourself to thinking in the present. Think above and beyond. Do not be bound by this age; aim to create a new age that will delight people throughout the world.” Masayoshi Son
• Mosiah 7: 27… And because he said unto them that Christ was the God, the Father of all things, and said that he should take upon him the image of man, and it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning; or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God, and that God should come down among the children of men, and take upon him flesh and blood, and go forth upon the face of the earth—
• Mosiah 3: 5-11…5  For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.  6 And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men. 7 And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people. 8 And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.  9 And lo, he cometh unto his own, that salvation might come unto the children of men even through faith on his name; and even after all this they shall consider him a man, and say that he hath a devil, and shall scourge him, and shall crucify him.10 And he shall rise the third day from the dead; and behold, he standeth to judge the world; and behold, all these things are done that a righteous judgment might come upon the children of men. 11 For behold, and also his blood atoneth for the sins of those who have fallen by the transgression of Adam, who have died not knowing the will of God concerning them, or who have ignorantly sinned.
• January 14th, 1995 – Saturday.  Quito Ecuador – Jeffrey R. Holland Conference… “I learned of the importance of obedience.  He talked about the creation and pointed out that nothing progressed until the things were obedient.  I’ll never forget that.  I feel that is why Puyo has not progressed very fast.  Disobedience.  When I’m not progressing, I will re-evaluate my obedience.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
• Jacob 4: 9… For behold, by the power of his word man came upon the face of the earth, which earth was created by the power of his word. Wherefore, if God being able to speak and the world was, and to speak and man was created, O then, why not able to command the earth, or the workmanship of his hands upon the face of it, according to his will and pleasure?
