Brigham Young Quote: “The Lord steadies the ark; and if it does jostle, and appear to need steadying, if the way is a little sideling sometimes, and to all appearance threatens its overthrow, be careful how you stretch forth your hands to steady it; let us not be too officious in meddling with that which does not concern us; let it alone, it is the Lord's work. I know enough to let the kingdom alone, and do my duty. It carries me, I do not carry the kingdom.” [BY JD 11:249, Brigham Young, God’s Kingdom on Earth] 

Elder Dale Renlund Quote: “Heavenly Father’s prescribed path leads to the best eternal outcomes. We are free to choose, but we cannot choose the consequences of not following the revealed path. … We cannot deviate from Heavenly Father’s course and then blame Him for inferior outcomes. … When we sincerely repent, no spiritual scar remains, no matter what we have done, how serious it was, or how many times we repeated it. As often as we repent and seek forgiveness with real intent, we can be forgiven.” (“Your Divine Nature and Eternal Destiny,” April 2022) 

Elder Mathias Held Quote: “The Lord [is] patiently preparing us, He [is] molding us, and He [is] helping us to discover that we should learn to discern the truth not only through our rational minds but also through the very still and small voice of the Spirit, which speaks especially to our hearts.” (“Seeking Knowledge by the Spirit,” General Conference, April 2019)
