"Just as Jesus' anxious Apostles were given peace by 'another Comforter,' so
today can all men and women receive the same marvelous blessing each day of
their lives: the teenager challenged by peer pressure, the person torn by
seemingly overwhelming passions or emotions, the person encircled about by
loneliness and despair, the hungry, the oppressed, the forgotten, the
frightened, the abused, the abuser, the liar, the thief--all who will surrender,
follow the Master, and do His works are entitled to the same peace." - Dennis E.
Simmons, "His
Peace," General Conference, April 1997

"'Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and
you shall have peace in me' (D&C
19:23).
"'He who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace
in this world, and eternal life in the world to come' (D&C
59:23).
"Just as Helaman discovered in the midst of battle that 'he did speak peace to
our souls' (Alma 58:11)
and Oliver Cowdery had peace spoken to his mind when he cried unto the Lord in
his heart that he might know concerning the truth of the Book of Mormon (see
D&C 6:22-23), all sincere
seekers can have that same peace spoken to them. That peace comes from the
assurances spoken by a still, small voice. The Holy Ghost is a personage of
spirit who generally communicates not through physical senses but by touching
the heart and mind—in other words, He speaks through thoughts, impressions, and
feelings and does so softly." - Dennis E. Simmons, "His
Peace," Ensign (CR), May 1997, p.31

"As a young man, I returned home from an eighth-grade basketball tournament
dejected, disappointed, and confused. I blurted out to my mother, 'I don't know
why we lost—I had faith we'd win!'
"I now realize that I did not then know what faith is.
"Faith is not bravado, not just a wish, not just a hope. True faith is faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ—confidence and trust in Jesus Christ that leads a person
to follow Him. (Alma 32:21)"
- Dennis E. Simmons, "But
If Not...," Ensign (CR), May 2004, p.73
