Any opportunity to serve in the Church is a blessing.

It is comparing apples and oranges to refer to the love that the Savior expressed for all mankind, for every person, for every man and woman and child, with the doctrine related to marriage.

Marriage is not an institution to be tampered with by mankind, and certainly not to be tampered with by those who are doing so simply for their own purposes.

There is no such thing in the Lord's eyes as something called same-gender marriage.

The more a person can look beyond gender orientation, the happier and more fulfilling life is likely to be.

What happens in somebody's house down the street does in very deed have an effect on what happens in my house and how it's treated.

Children deserve to be reared in a home with a father and a mother.

I certainly discourage people getting involved with any group or organization that foster living a homosexual lifestyle.

There's no denial that one's gender orientation is certainly a core characteristic of any person, but it's not the only one.

In this life, such things as service in the Church, including missionary service, all of this is available to anyone who is true to covenants and commandments.

Why somebody has a same-gender attraction... who can say? But what matters is the fact that we know we can control how we behave, and it is behavior which is important.

All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.

Life is a great grace.

History tells creativity is a result of Soul song.

Only after disaster can we be resurrected.

Maybe there is no such thing as success—a final destination where you arrive once and for all. Maybe existence is a never-ending journey of peaks and valleys and forever chasing dreams.

Period recreation is very difficult unless you make a black and white movie.

The exchange rate between first-world lives and third-world lives in disaster stories in the media is about 50:1.

I exist not to be loved and admired, but to love and act. It is not the duty of those around me to love me. Rather, it is my duty to be concerned about the world, about man.

In education, as in religion and love, compulsion thwarts the purpose for which it is employed.

I do need to travel with a purpose, though. I can't go somewhere to just hang out with friends.
