Cecil O. Samuelson (Cecil Osborn Samuelson Jr.) Quotes
When we begin to understand the magnitude of the Messiah's sacrifice and service to us individually and collectively, we then cannot consider anything else to be of more importance or to approach His significance in our lives.

We do know, however, that as we learn line upon line, our appreciation for the Savior's contributions will increase and our knowledge and assurance of their truthfulness will grow.
