Quick Quotes on Enduring to the
End
"There is no promise made to any man, woman or
child, no matter what testimony they may receive, or what light and intelligence
may come to them from God, that they shall remain firm and steadfast in the
straight and narrow path that leads to life eternal, only as they shall keep the
commandments of God."
-Heber J. Grant
"Through times good and bad, the Lord expects
each of us to endure to the end. As we all go forward together in His sacred
work, the Brethren realize the importance of your thoughtful consideration, so
lovingly offered and gratefully received. We love you and pray for you, as you
pray for us."
-Russell M. Nelson, "Jesus Christ--the Master Healer," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 85
"Enduring
to the end means that we have planted our lives firmly on gospel soil, staying
in the mainstream of the Church, humbly serving our fellow men, living
Christ-like lives, and keeping our covenants. Those who endure are balanced,
consistent, humble, constantly improving, and without guile. Their testimony
is not based on worldly reasons--it is based on truth, knowledge, experience,
and the Spirit."
-Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Press On," Ensign, Nov. 2004, 101
"Be not discouraged; neither
allow the spirit of doubt or gloom or despondency to come into thy life, for
these are tricks of the evil one to destroy thy faith and thy usefulness.
But look upon the bright side of life, be cheerful, humble, prayerful, and in
pure devotion, and in thy habits, and the Lord will remember thee in mercy.
His power and blessings will be upon thee. Therefore, look unto the Lord
in humility, and thou shalt be comforted in the answers to thy prayers and be
guided in the path of thy duty, day and night." -Hyrum Smith

in mind that in train travel and in life, there are stations, there are
departures, calls, schedules, and opportunities for being side-tracked and
diverted. Wise is the individual who follows in his, the Savior's, paths.
Safety and joy belong to those who will come and follow him. I bear
witness to you today that God is eternal. We are eternal, and God never
intended for us to travel alone." -Marvin J. Ashton, "What Is Your
Destination?" Ensign, July 1972, 63.
"Jesus said, 'Without me ye can do nothing.' (John 15:5). I testify that
that is God's truth. Christ is everything to us and we are to 'abide' in
Him permanently, unyieldingly, steadfastly, forever. For the fruit
of the gospel to blossom and bless our lives, we must be firmly attached
to Him, the Savior of us all, and to this His Church, which bears His holy
name. He is the vine that is our true source of strength and the only
source of eternal life. In Him we not only will endure but also will
prevail and triumph in this holy cause that will never fail us." -Jeffrey
R. Holland, "Abide in Me," Ensign, May 2004, 32
