We are able to feel and learn very quickly through music, through art, through poetry some spiritual things that we would otherwise learn very slowly.

Boyd K. Packer

I’m not ashamed to say that I want to be good. And I’ve found in my life that it has been critically important to establish this intention between me and the Lord so that I knew that HE knew which way I committed my agency.
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Differences Giving
You ought to know that the Lord loves you. He will make that known to you, and it will be a very private and individual experience, something you cannot explain to anyone else.
BOYD K. PACKER

Individual Lord Love Ought You
The scriptures speak of ‘the shield of faith wherewith,’ the Lord said, ‘ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked’ (D&C 27:17).
BOYD K. PACKER

Quenched Scripture Speak
This shield of faith is best fabricated in a cottage industry. While the shield can be polished in classes in the Church and in activities, it is meant to be handcrafted in the home and fitted to each individual.
BOYD K. PACKER

Each Individual Fabricated Faith
Seek worthy companions. Attend church faithfully. Never fail daily to seek for help through prayer. And I promise you that the way will be easier and you shall have a composure of mind and a confident attitude toward life and the future.
BOYD K. PACKER

Attitude Life Prayer
I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough.
BOYD K. PACKER

The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target
BOYD K. PACKER

The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
BOYD K. PACKER

Believe Ideas Life Preposterous
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
If the word is tolerance, grab that one, too, saying, “I expect you to be tolerant of my lifestyle-obedience, integrity, abstinence, repentance.” If the word is choice, tell them you choose good, old-fashioned morality.
BOYD K. PACKER

Choose Good Integrity Repentance Say
The gift of the Holy Ghost operates equally with men, women, and even little children. It is within this wondrous gift and power that the spiritual remedy to any problem can be found.
BOYD K. PACKER

Children Men Spiritual
Like most things of great worth, knowledge which is of eternal value comes only through personal prayer and pondering.
BOYD K. PACKER

Fasting Prayer Whispering
I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough….Some needlessly carry a heavy burden of guilt which could be removed through confession and repentance.
BOYD K. PACKER

Burden heavy Needlessly Please
The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ has the nourishing power to heal starving spirits of the world.
BOYD K. PACKER

Book Christ Jesus Nourishment Power World
When some unworthy thought pushes into your mind, replace it with your delete key. Worthy music is powerful and can help you control your thoughts.
BOYD K. PACKER

Control Mind Thoughts Unworthy
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence … more than a speaker does.
