"Perfect people don't need a Savior.
He came to save his people in their imperfections. He is the Lord of the living, and the living make mistakes. He's not embarrassed by us, angry at us, or shocked. He wants us in our brokenness, in our unhappiness,
in our guilt and our grief."
— "Lighten Up!"
"In principle great clarity, in practice great charity."
"If we don't have time for masterpiece moments, the very
reason we came to earth is being wasted on us."
reason we came to earth is being wasted on us."
— "Being Enough"
"There's not just one right way to be a Mormon woman . . .as long as we are firmly grounded in faith in the Savior, make and keep covenants, live the commandments, and work together in charity. All of us face different family circumstances and home situations. All of us need strength in dealing with them. This strength comes from faith in the Savior's love and in the power of his atonement. If we trustingly put our hand in the Savior's, we can claim the promise of the sacramental prayer to always have his Spirit with us. All problems are manageable with that strength, and all other problems are secondary in urgency to maintaining a strong spiritual life."

"Part of [our] hope in Christ is hope in the future, a future that includes resurrection and salvation and exaltation. He is my hope on rainy Monday mornings, my hope on dark nights, and my hope in the face of death and despair."
— October General Conference, 1996
