Russell M. Nelson on Love

Russell M. Nelson

Learn to listen, and listen to learn from neighbors. Repeatedly the Lord has said, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor.” Opportunities to listen to those of diverse religious or political persuasion can promote tolerance and learning. And a good listener will listen to a person’s sentiments as well . . . The wise listen to learn from neighbors.

“Listen to Learn,” Ensign, vol 21, page 22, Salt Lake City, UT: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1991

Brigham Young

He [God] . . . was once a man in mortal flesh as we are, and is now an exalted being . . . It appears ridiculous to the world, under their darkened and erroneous traditions, that God has once been a finite being.

Thomas S. Monson

Great service is given when we perform vicarious ordinances for those who have gone beyond the veil. In many cases we do not know those for whom we perform the work. We expect no thanks, nor do we have the assurance that they will accept that which we offer. However, we serve, and in that process we attain that which comes of no other effort: we literally become saviors on Mount Zion.

Brigham Young

We are not going to wait for angels, or for Enoch and his company to come and build up Zion, but we are going to build it.
