The Lord will try us until He knows what He can do with us. He tried His Son Jesus. Thousands of years before He came upon the earth the Father had watched His course and knew that He could depend upon Him when the salvation of worlds should be at stake...He will continue to try us, in order that He might place us in the highest positions in life and put upon us the most sacred responsibilities.

-Lorenzo Snow-

Patience is tied very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Acutally, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best--better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His.

-Neal A. Maxwell-

Nature is the glass reflecting God, as by the sea reflected is the sun, too glorious to be gazed on in his sphere.

-Brigham Young-

God never bestows upon His people, or upon an individual, superior blessings without a severe trial to prove them.

-Brigham Young-

God planted within women something divine.

-Gordon B. Hinckely-

God will hold us accountable if we neglect His daughters.

-Gordon B. Hinckley-

The test of a loving God set before of us is not to see if we can endure difficulty. It is to see if we can endure it well.

-Henry B. Eyring-

We are children of God. Each of us is precious to the point of bringing the Lord God Almighty to a fulness of joy if we are faithful, or to tears if we are not.

-M. Russell Ballard-

God is not a jealous being who delights in persecuting those who misstep. He is an absolutely perfect, compassionate, understanding, patient, and forgiving Father. He is willing to entreat, counsel, strengthen, lift, and fortify.

-Richard G. Scott-
