"Never give up on anyone.  And that includes not giving up on yourself."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Continue in Patience," Ensign, May 2010

"Hope is not knowledge, but rather the abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promise to us."

--Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Infinite Power of Hope"

"The adversary uses despair to bind hearts and minds in suffocating darkness.  Despair can seem like a staircase that leads only and forever downward.  Hope has the power to fill our lives with happiness."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Infinite Power of Hope," Ensign, Nov 2008

Hope in God

"In times of distress, we can hold tightly to the hope that things will 'work together for [our] good.'  This type of hope in God . . . refreshes us with courage during difficult challenges and gives strength to those who feel threatened by enclosing walls of fear, doubt, and despair."

---Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Infinite Power of Hope,"

Things We Hope For, Things We Hope In

"No matter how bleak the chapter of our lives may look today, because of the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we may hope and be assured that the ending of the book of our lives will exceed our grandest expectations."


--Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Infinite Power of Hope"
