“True doctrine, understood, changes attitude and behavior. The study of doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior. Preoccupation with unworthy behavior can lead to unworthy behavior. That is why we stress so forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel.”
– Boyd K. Packer
“The process of gathering spiritual light is the quest of a lifetime.”
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf
In a Q & A Stake Fireside in Provo, Bruce R. McConkie was once asked when does he study the gospel. His response:
“I study the gospel in the morning. I study the gospel at lunch. I study the gospel in the afternoon. I study the gospel at night. I study the gospel before I go to bed. And at night I lay on my pillow thinking about the gospel.”
He then was asked how many scriptures has he memorized. His response:
“I’ve only memorized four scriptures: The Bible, The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price.”
“If all you know is what you see with your natural eyes and hear with your natural ears, then you will not know very much.”
– Boyd K. Packer
