“As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be.” Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, Chapter 5: The Grand Destiny of the Faithful
“It is a wonderful pleasure to speak upon the great things that God proposes to bestow upon His sons and daughters, and that we shall attain to if we are faithful. …” Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, Chapter 5: The Grand Destiny of the Faithful
“The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – that God governs in the affairs of men.” (Benjamin Franklin, Miracle at Philadelphia, 126)
“If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves.” (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith [1976], 343)
“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)
“..as priesthood holders, we are under covenantal obligation “to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death” (). We are called to bear witness that there is a God, that he is our Heavenly Father, the Father of the spirits of all men and women (; 27:16; ), that he has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s (), and that we are created in his image and likeness. We are called to bear witness that our Father has a plan for the redemption and happiness of his children, a grand plan of salvation, and that there is purpose and meaning to all that we experience or undergo in this life.” (Men of Influence, 11)
“Veritable teenagers- and all of us for many decades thereafter- carrying daily, hourly, minute-to-minute, virtually every waking and sleeping moment of our lives, the power and the chemistry and the eternally transmitted seeds of life to grant someone else her second estate, someone else his next level of development in the divine plan of salvation. I submit to you that no power, priesthood or otherwise, is given by God so universally to so many with virtually no control over its use except self-control. And I submit that we will never be more like God at any other time in this life than when we are expressing that particular power. Of all the titles He has chosen for Himself, Father is the one He declares, and creation is His watchword- especially human creation, creation in His image. His glory isn’t a mountain, as stunning as mountains are. It isn’t in sea or sky or snow or sunrise, as beautiful as they all are. It isn’t in art or technology, be that a concerto or computer. No, His glory- and His grief- is in His children. We- you and I- are His prized possessions, and we are the earthly evidence, however in adequate, of what He truly is. Human life is the greatest of God’s powers, the most mysterious and magnificent chemistry of it all, and you and I have been given it, but under the most serious and sacred of restrictions. You and I- who can make neither mountain nor moonlight, not one rain-drop or a single rose- have this greater gift in an absolutely unlimited way. And the only control placed on us is self-control- self-control born of respect for the divine sacramental power it is…We who may not be able to repair a bicycle or assemble an average jigsaw puzzle can yet, in all of our weaknesses and imperfections, carry this procreative power which makes us so very much like God in at least that one grand and majestic way.” Of Souls, Symbols and Sacraments, Jeffrey R. Holland
“Just before Thoreau died, he was asked if he had made peace with God. He replied, “I was not aware we had every quarreled.” Henry David Thoreau
Book of Mormon, Mosiah 2: 23-24 …23 And now, in the first place, he hath created you, and granted unto you your lives, for which ye are indebted unto him. 24 And secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediately bless you; and therefore he hath paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be, forever and ever; therefore, of what have ye to boast?

“Across the centuries, no experience has been more universal and helpful in the sense of someone caring for us, near enough to be called upon, responsive enough to understand. He is real and he is personal and should be idealized but also realized. We must not only possess the idea of God, but we should be possessed by it. Men do not believe in God because they have proved Him. Rather they try endlessly to prove Him because they can’t help believing in Him.” (Hugh B. Brown, “God is the Gardener,” May 31, 1968, 10)
“No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, God will never desert us. He never has, and He never will. He cannot do it. It is against His character to do so. He is an unchangeable being…He will stand by us. We may pass through deep waters; but we shall not be consumed nor overwhelmed. We shall emerge from these trials and difficulties the better and the purer for them if we only trust in our God and keep His commandments.” (George Q. Cannon, If Thou Endure It Well, 121)
“…We who feel ourselves sometimes so worthless, so good-for-nothing, we are not so worthless as we think. There is not one of us but what God’s love has been expended upon. There is not one of us that He has not cared for and caressed. There is not one of us that He has not desired to save and that He has not devised means to save. There is not one of us that He has not given His angels charge concerning. We may be insignificant and contemptible in our own eyes and in the eyes of others, but the truth remains that we are children of God and that He has actually given His angels…charge concerning us, and they watch over us and have us in their keeping.” (George Q. Cannon, Gospel Truths [1974], 1:2; Ensign, May 1989, 21)
(Mos. 1:39) “God’s purpose can best be expressed in [this verse]. In the expansiveness of space, there is stunning personalness, for God knows and loves each of us. We are not ciphers in unexplained space. Remember the Psalmist’s query, ‘What is man that thou art mindful of him?’ [Psm. 8:4] yet mankind is at the very center of God’s work. We are the sheep of His hand and the people of His pasture. His work includes our immortalization – accomplished by Christ’s glorious atonement. Think of it, brothers and sisters, even with their extensive longevity, stars are not immortal. But we are.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Church News, 17 Aug. 2002, 3)
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?
Enos 1: 6... And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
Mosiah 5: 15… Being steadfast, immovable, abounding in good works, it will be sealed that you will be brought to heaven and have everlasting salvation and eternal life. All this through the wisdom, power, justice and mercy of God.
“November 9th, 1994 – Wednesday (Zone Conference Tungurahua). Ambato & Puyo Ecuador…I know that if we’re going to be Gods someday that we’re going to have to keep a strict schedule. I don’t think God is every tardy, and I know he’s organized. Might as well try to perfect this here on this earth-life.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
“Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father and how familiar his face is to us.” (Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, Dec. 1988, 6)
Mosiah 7:47… “Having seen vast and spectacular things; Enoch rejoiced. But over what? He rejoiced over his personal assurance about God, ‘yet thou art there’ (Mos. 7:30). (Neal A. Maxwell, Church News, 17 Aug. 2002, 3)
1 Nephi 1:1… ‘A great knowledge of the goodness…of God.’ “May I submit to you that people who don’t know that fact are terribly deprived doctrinally. They call into question the purposes and trials of life. When we know that God is perfect in His goodness, it will sustain us through the vicissitudes of life. Without this vital knowledge about God’s character and purposes, skepticism swells!” (Neal A. Maxwell,Ensign, Apr. 2003, 33-34)
“When we truly know how caring of us God is, then we know what to care about.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Sermons Not Spoken [1985], 16)
