The more a person can look beyond gender orientation, the happier and more fulfilling life is likely to be.

It is comparing apples and oranges to refer to the love that the Savior expressed for all mankind, for every person, for every man and woman and child, with the doctrine related to marriage.

Marriage is not an institution to be tampered with by mankind, and certainly not to be tampered with by those who are doing so simply for their own purposes.

There is no such thing in the Lord's eyes as something called same-gender marriage.

What happens in somebody's house down the street does in very deed have an effect on what happens in my house and how it's treated.

Children deserve to be reared in a home with a father and a mother.

I certainly discourage people getting involved with any group or organization that foster living a homosexual lifestyle.

There's no denial that one's gender orientation is certainly a core characteristic of any person, but it's not the only one.

In this life, such things as service in the Church, including missionary service, all of this is available to anyone who is true to covenants and commandments.

Why somebody has a same-gender attraction... who can say? But what matters is the fact that we know we can control how we behave, and it is behavior which is important.

What matters most is recognition that 'I have my own will. I have my own agency. I have the power within myself to control what I do.'

This goes to show you that sometimes the unseen is not to be feared and that those meant to love us most are not always ones who do.

Why you keep telling me to be careful, Old man ?Your stupidity doesn't deserve my sacrifice, Kiddo.

Once you have known sorrow, you will appreciate happiness.

The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit.

The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.

Death is a part of life ... and that part of life needs everything that the rest of life does.

I like the idea that neither makes any romantic move until their philosophies are aligned.

I know you can't go back, so I try to do all the things other teenagers do.

If you make people think they're thinking they'll like you, but if you make people actually think, then watch out, you're not going to be popular.

The boy reached through to the Soul of the World, and saw that it was part of the Soul of God. And he saw that the Soul of God was his own soul. And that he, a boy, could perform miracles.
