When I think of the Savior: Uchtdorf

"When I think of the Savior, I often picture Him with hands outstretched, reaching out to comfort, heal, bless, and love. And He always talked with, never down to, people. He loved the humble and the meek and walked among them, ministering to them and offering hope and salvation. That is what He did during His mortal life; it is what He would be doing if He were living among us today; and it is what we should be doing as His disciples and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

--Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "You Are My Hands", Ensign May 2010, 68–70, 75

The path to eternal life is not on a plateau: Hilbig

"The path to eternal life is not on a plateau. Rather, it is an incline, ever onward and upward. Hence, ever-increasing spiritual understanding and energy are required to reach our destination. Because the pernicious opposition by Satan continues, the continuous enlightened guidance of the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential."

--Keith K. Hilbig, "Quench Not the Spirit Which Quickens the Inner Man", Ensign, Nov 2007, 37–39
