BOYD K. PACKER

Men Messages Worry
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
The gospel stands as true for those who reject it as for those who accept it – both will be judged by it.

Everything that I have learned from the revelations and from life convinces me that there is time and to spare for you to carefully prepare for a long life.
BOYD K. PACKER

In a sense, speaking figuratively, to take one’s agency, that precious gift which the scriptures make plain is essential to life itself, and say, “I will do as you direct,” is afterward to learn that in so doing you possess it all the more.
BOYD K. PACKER
