There are spiritual and physical laws to obey if we are to be happy.
Boyd K. Packer -
I counsel our children to do their critical studying in the early hours of the morning when they're fresh and alert, rather than to fight physical weariness and mental exhaustion at night. I've learned the power of the dictum, "Early to bed, early to rise." When I'm under pressure, you won't find me burning the midnight oil. I'd much rather be in bed early and getting up in the wee hours of the morning.

Throughout your life there may be times when you have gone places you never should have gone and done things you never should have done. If you will turn away from sin, you will be able one day to know the peace that comes from following the pathway of complete repentance.
Boyd K. Packer -
Peace can be settled in the heart of each who turns to the scriptures and unlocks the promises of protection and redemption that are taught therein.
Boyd K. Packer -
We are able to feel and learn very quickly through music, through art, through poetry some spiritual things that we would otherwise learn very slowly.
Boyd K. Packer -
You ought to know that the Lord loves you. He will make that known to you, and it will be a very private and individual experience, something you cannot explain to anyone else.
Boyd K. Packer -
Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.
Boyd K. Packer -
No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.
Boyd K. Packer
-
Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.
Boyd K. Packer -
The voice of the Spirit is described in the scriptures as being neither loud nor harsh, not a voice of thunder, neither a voice of great tumultuous noise, but rather as still and small, of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it can pierce even the very soul and cause the heart to burn. The Spirit does not get our attention by shouting.
Boyd K. Packer -
Progression: you can start from where you are.
Boyd K. Packer -
The scriptures hold the keys to spiritual protection.
Boyd K. Packer -
Largely because of television, instead of looking over into that spacious building, we are, in effect, living inside of it. That is your fate in this generation. You are living in that great and spacious building.
Boyd K. Packer -
Learn to pray. Pray often. Pray in your mind, in your heart. Pray on your knees. Prayer is your personal key to heaven. The lock is on your side of the veil. And I have learned to conclude all my prayers with ‘Thy will be done’ (Matthew 6:10; see also Luke 11:2; 3 Nephi 13:10).

Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.
Boyd K. Packer -
Christ's mercy is the mighty healer; even to the wounded innocent.
Boyd K. Packer -
In all that we do in the Church, we need to provide the way, as leaders, for parents and children to have time together as families.
Boyd K. Packer -
If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness.
Boyd K. Packer -
His judgments are just; His mercy without limit; His power to compensate beyond any earthly comparison.
Boyd K. Packer -
Tolerance is a virtue, but, like all virtues, when exaggerated it transforms itself into a vice.
Boyd K. Packer
-
Repentance is the key with which we can unlock the prison from inside. We hold that key within our hands, and agency is ours to use it.
Boyd K. Packer -
Thoughts, like water, will stay on course if we make a place for them to go. As you learn to control your thoughts, you can gain courage, conquer fear and have a happy life.
Boyd K. Packer -
There is a temptation for the writer or the teacher of Church history to want to tell everything, whether it is worthy or faith promoting or not. Some things that are true are not very useful.
Boyd K. Packer -
One of the adversary's sharpest tools is to convince us that we are no longer worthy to pray. No matter who you are or what you may have done, you can always pray.
