"The trouble with most of our prayers is that we give them as if we were picking up the telephone and ordering groceries—we place our order and hang up. We need to meditate, contemplate, think of what we are praying about and for and then speak to the Lord as one man speaketh to another."

-Gordon B. Hinkley

"Excellence is not found in just knowing the scriptures, not just loving the scriptures, but in living the scriptures."
