"I promise that because of your faithful response to the call to spread the gospel, He will bind up your broken hearts, dry your tears and set you and your families free.  That is my missionary promise to you and your missionary message to the world."  

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland 

"The future of the Church and even the world, depends upon how you young men regard and honor your Priesthood."  

Elder James E. Faust

"Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval."

President Thomas S. Monson

"There is too much at stake for us to give only a half-hearted effort to this sacred work.  It is not an effort of once a week or once a day.  It is an effort of once and for all."

Rise up, O men of God, in one united throng.

Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong.

Rise up, O men of God!  Tread where His feet have trod.

As brothers of the Son of Man,

Rise up, O men of God!
