Gordon B. Hinckley World Quotations

We live in a world of shifting values. The family is falling apart. Parents failing in what they ought to do.

I think the world would be much poorer without religion, speaking generally.

Though my work may be menial, though my contribution may be small, I can perform it with dignity and offer it with unselfishness.

The goodness of the world in which we live is the accumulated goodness of many small and seemingly inconsequential acts.

The greatness of the world in which we live is the accumulated goodness of many small and seemingly inconsequential acts.

There is no substitute for virtue. Keep your thoughts virtuous. Rise above the filth that's all around you in this world and stand tall in strength and virtue. You can do this and you will be happier for it for as long as you live. God bless you in cherishing, developing and holding on to this great gift, the quality of personal virtue.

In all this world there is no substitute for personal integrity. It includes honor. It includes performance. It includes keeping one's word. It includes doing what is right regardless of the circumstances

We live in a world where knowledge is developing at an ever-accelerating rate. Drink deeply from this ever-springing well of wisdom and human experience.

Believe in yourselves. Believe in your capacity to do some good in this world. God sent us here for a purpose, and that was to improve the world in which we live. The wonderful thing is that we can do it.

The world is our responsibility. We cannot evade it.

I don't hesitate to say if every family in the world practiced [family home evening], you'd see a very great difference in the solidarity of the families of the world.

Do the best you can. And remember that the greatest asset you have in this world is those children who you've brought into the world, and for whose nurture and care you're responsible.
