Boyd K. Packer

Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.
BOYD K. PACKER

Historians Inspire Truth
No pain will last forever. It is not easy, but life was never meant to be either easy or fair. Repentance and the lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be worth the effort.
BOYD K. PACKER

Inspirational Pain Spiritual
Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed, there is no room for it.
BOYD K. PACKER

Certified Edge Everything Faith
If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.
BOYD K. PACKER

Depressing Disappointment Feelings
Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.
BOYD K. PACKER

Independent Responsibility Self
The purest, most beautiful and appealing experiences of life: romance, love, marriage, and parenthood.

Beautiful Love Marriage Romance
I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting; it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them.
BOYD K. PACKER

Hard Hurt Times Uplifting
Faith is a real power, not just an expression of belief.
BOYD K. PACKER

Inspirational Real Spiritual
Tolerance is a virtue, but like all virtues, when exaggerated, it transforms itself into a vice. We need to be careful of the “tolerance trap” so that we are not swallowed up in it.
BOYD K. PACKER

Land Law Spiritual
We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.
BOYD K. PACKER

Father Parenting Sorrow
Husbands and wives should understand that their first calling-from which they will never be released-is to one another and then to their children.

No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.
BOYD K. PACKER

Children Mother Teaching
One of the adversary’s sharpest tools is to convince us that we are no longer worthy to pray. No matter who you are or what you may have done, you can always pray.
BOYD K. PACKER

Convince Done Tools Us
At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can ‘see’ things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.
BOYD K. PACKER

Able Distraction Dust Fog Temple
It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.
BOYD K. PACKER

Disappointment Life Struggle
Fix that truth in your mind and hold to it. However many generations in your mortal ancestry, no matter what race or people you represent, the pedigree of your spirit can be written on a single line. You are a child of God!
