The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target

Boyd K. Packer

Life moves all too fast. When you feel weak, discouraged, depressed, or afraid, open the Book of Mormon and read.

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.

Each Individual Fabricated Faith
There’s no credit buying on eternal things, none at all. Anything that is worthwhile has to be paid for in advance.

Advance Buying Credit Financial Paid Worthwide
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
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.

Somewhere there is a message in the protest of the man who said, “You can’t tell me that worry doesn’t help. The things I worry about never happen.”

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.

A testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large.
BOYD K. PACKER

Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.
BOYD K. PACKER

Family Fear Particular
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
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
If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness.

You always hold the key of repentance to unlock the prison door. If they throw the word diversity at you, grab hold of it and say, “I am already diverse, and I intend to stay diverse.”

Temple. One other word is equal in importance to a Latter-day Saint. Home. Put the words holy temple and home together, and you have described the house of the Lord!
BOYD K. PACKER

Home House Together
Some things that are true are not very useful.
BOYD K. PACKER

Some Thing Useful Very
Often, very often, we are punished as much by our sins as we are for them.
