Faith is a real power, not just an expression of belief.

Boyd K. Packer

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

Historians Inspire Truth
Tolerance is a virtue, but, like all virtues, when exaggerated it transforms itself into a vice.
BOYD K. PACKER

Tolerance Vices Virtue
We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit; otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary.
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Enticements Otherwise Spirit Use
If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness.
BOYD K. PACKER

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.”
BOYD K. PACKER

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
One thing is very clear: the safest place and the best protection against the moral and spiritual diseases is a stable home and family. This has always been true; it will be true forever. We must keep that foremost in our minds.
BOYD K. PACKER

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 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

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

Justice can seem to be so very demanding. But we must learn that when we put everything as right as we can put it right, it is Justice who invokes the Atonement, orders the adversary off our property, and posts the notice that his agents will make no more collections from us.
