"When you see any document, any address, any letter, any instruction
that is issued by the Council of the First Presidency and the Quorum
of the Twelve, it should be recognized for what it surely is — the
mind and the will of the Lord to his people in this day." — L.
Aldin Porter, "The
Revelations
of Heaven," Ensign, November 1994, p. 65

"The Holy Spirit does not teach the proud, the unteachable, the
indolent, or the doubter. A deep desire for truth and faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ will prepare one's heart to be taught spiritual
things." - L. Aldin Porter, "The
Spirit
of Prophecy," Ensign, Nov. 1996, p. 9

"The
center of the plan is the Lord Jesus Christ. Reject or ignore Him, and
the great plan of happiness cannot function in your behalf. His life
was dedicated in His premortal existence, through mortality, and even
on into the eternal worlds to establishing the Father’s plan to our
blessing and benefit. The cost to the Master was monumental. Think of
the pain of Gethsemane and of His suffering on Calvary. This should
give us some concept of the enormous importance of the plan of
redemption."

"[Christ]
is our protector in a world constantly seeking to solve problems
through violence. He is our protector in a world where the minds of so
many are filled with evil continually. We, of all people, should look
to the future with enthusiasm and optimism. We have His word to direct
us, to comfort us, and to give us hope for the future. There is so
much that lies ahead of light and purity and virtue; and, in time,
violence will disappear, for surely the lamb will lie down with the
lion."

“We
do not need greater prophets. We need listening ears. We need hearts
that are sufficiently pure that we can feel their words. We
need souls that will commit to the keeping of our covenants.” - L.

1994, p. 62

You will find that when Moroni’s promise is fulfilled and you are
given the knowledge that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God,
there will come with it a witness that Jesus is the Christ, the
Redeemer and Savior of the world. I have never known an instance where
this did not occur. Moreover, I do not believe a violation of this
principle will ever take place. A spiritual witness of the Nephite
scripture will always bring the certainty of the Savior’s existence. -
