And finally, in all of living have much of fun and laughter.

Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.

-April 1996 General Conference

“This church does not belong to its President. Its head is the Lord Jesus Christ, whose name each of us has taken upon ourselves. We are all in this great endeavor together. We are here to assist our Father in His work and His glory. . . . Your obligation is as serious in your sphere of responsibility as is my obligation in my sphere. No calling in this church is small or of little consequence.” -April 1995 General Conference


"I do not know what to say of my father that would not embarrass him, except that I love him and that I sustain him. At the risk of being too personal, I will say that as I watch him grow older, my mind goes back to days when we were little children, when he would lie on the floor and wrestle and play with us and lift us in his arms and hug us and tickle us, or pull us up into bed with Mother and him when we were sick or frightened in the night. My memories of him will ever be of laughter and love, of steadiness, of testimony, of relentless hard work, of faith and fidelity. He is kind and wise, and I am blessed beyond measure that I not only sustain him as my prophet for this season of mortality but that I also claim him as my father now and throughout all eternity." -Elder Richard G. Hinckley, President Hinckley's son

About an hour ago we received the news that our dear prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away earlier this evening. It has been an emotional night. Our hearts are full of gratitude for him! What an example of faith and love and optimism and goodness.
