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

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.

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.

What matters most is recognition that 'I have my own will. I have my own agency. I have the power within myself to control what I do.'

He dropped his head and kissed her. He kisses her and it was a kiss of utter certainty, the kind of kiss during which monarchs die and whole continents fall without your even noticing.

I think "post-racial" is a dangerous trap. You can fall into complacency and give your complicity a much more dangerous character.

Old Time, that greatest and longest established spinner of all!... his factory is a secret place, his work is noiseless, and his Hands are mutes.

I destroy the image after I've made it, obliterate it a little so you never have it completely there.

All I know is that I have two choices – stay wrapped in blankets and get on with dying, or get the list back together and get on with living.

Any librarian or scholar will tell you: Close is not the same as accurate.

Perhaps God gives us a physical body so that every time we change our mind, we won’t be someone else.

Know then that the body is merely a garment. Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.

I happen to miss the Constitution; I thought it was a good document.

The more artificial a human environment becomes, the more the word ‘natural’ becomes a term of value.
