• Parents are with their children almost constantly and can observe when they are ready to be instructed.

  Boyd K. Packer (1975). “Teach Ye Diligently”

  4 Copy quote

• I counsel our children to do their critical studying in the early hours of the morning when they're fresh and alert, rather than to fight physical weariness and mental exhaustion at night. I've learned the power of the dictum, "Early to bed, early to rise." When I'm under pressure, you won't find me burning the midnight oil. I'd much rather be in bed early and getting up in the wee hours of the morning.

  Boyd K. Packer

  Morning, Children, Fighting

  Boyd K. Packer (1975). “Teach Ye Diligently”

  6 Copy quote

• If you have seen one of the temples at night, fully lighted, you know what an impressive sight that can be.

• We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.

  Boyd K. Packer

  Father, Parenting, Sorrow

  5 Copy quote

• That historian or scholar who delights in pointing out the weaknesses and frailties of present or past leaders destroys faith. A destroyer of faith — particularly one within the Church, and more particularly one who is employed specifically to build faith — places himself in great spiritual jeopardy. He is serving the wrong master, and unless he repents, he will not be among the faithful in the eternities. Do not spread disease germs!

  Boyd K. Packer

  Spiritual, Past, Leader

  6 Copy quote

  Mean, Responsibility, Soul
