"Example is often the best teacher. Who in your family could benefit from your example—a brother, a sister, your mom or dad?" - Mary N. Cook, "Strengthen Home and Family," General Conference, 6 October 2007

"Some of you may feel that you can't rise above the polluted pond, that your circumstances are too difficult, your trials too hard, your temptations too great. But remember Alma's promise: 'Whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.' Remember, the stalk of the water lily grows in adversity, and as the stalk lifts the water lily, your faith will support and lift you." - Mary N. Cook, "Anchors of Testimony," Ensign (CR), May 2008
