"The family should kneel together daily in family prayer. Alma
58:10 tells us: 'Therefore we did pour out our souls in
prayer to God, that he would strengthen us and deliver us out
of the hands of our enemies, yea, and also give us strength
that we might retain our cities, and our lands, and our
possessions, for the support of our people.' Our family has
always needed to be strengthened-and still does-and kneeling
in prayer daily certainly helps. Children need to be
constantly taught how they should act when they mature and
have their own families." - LeGrand R. Curtis, "Happiness
Is
Homemade," Ensign, November 1990, p. 13

"Each of us possesses an inner light, the light of Christ (see
Moro.
7:16-19). We can affect the brightness of that light by
our thoughts and actions. There is a strong suggestion in
Matthew 5:16 [Matt.
5:16] that we, by controlling our thoughts and actions,
can choose how we affect the lives of those around us." -

"People will be happy to about the same degree that they are
actively involved in trying to help others. This truth is tied
to the Savior's teaching that 'inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me' (Matt.
25:40)." - LeGrand R. Curtis, "Perfection:
A
Daily Process," Ensign, July 1995, p. 33

"It is strange that in our praying we seldom ask for a change of
character but always a change in circumstances. Some of the
challenges we face may, in our Father's eternal perspective, be
exactly what we need at this time in our lives. Perhaps we would
be wise to pray for faith and strength to endure and grow in
character and spirit." - LeGrand R. Curtis, "Perfection:
A Daily Process," Ensign, July 1995, 33

Thus, if we repent, we can be forgiven of our sins, the price
having been paid by our Redeemer. This is good news for all of
us, “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23). Those who have strayed significantly from the
paths of righteousness desperately need this redemption, and if
they fully repent, it is theirs to claim. But those who have
worked hard to live good lives also desperately need this
redemption, for none can get to the presence of the Father
without Christ’s help. Thus, this loving redemption allows the
laws of justice and mercy to be satisfied in the lives of all
who repent and follow Christ. - LeGrand R. Curtis, Jr. "Redemption,"
Ensign (CR) October 2011
