I love our prophet.
President Monson is amazing.
But If I am being honest, Gordon B Hinckley was my favorite.
People say he was ultimately 'just a man', but to me he was darn near perfect.
I loved his smile and how sweet he was to his wife. But what I loved most were all of his little sayings.
Short and profound.
Just one sentence from him would make me stop in my tracks and make me re-evaluate myself and then want nothing more then to do and be better.
So here are some quotes from my favorite prophet that I love....
“True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one's companion.”
"You have not failed until you quit trying.”
"Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others...By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.”
"If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel.”
"In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.”
"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.”
"Mediocrity will never do. You are capable of something better.”
"You can be smart and happy or stupid and miserable. . . it's your choice”
"Get on your knees and pray, then get on your feet and work
“Work at our responsibility as parents as if everything in life counted on it.”
“God has brought us together as families to bring to pass His eternal purposes. We are part of this plan in this marriage relationship. let us love and respect and honor one another. We can do it, and we will be the better for it"
"There are four pillars to a happy marriage: respect one another as individuals; (give) soft answers; (practice)financial honesty; (conduct) family prayer.”
"Marriage in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other, but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have."
Those are just a few. I love them.
