"He [satan] cannot take away any blessing that has been earned. He cannot alter character that has been woven from righteous decisions. He has no power to destroy the eternal bonds forged in a holy temple between a husband, wife and children. He cannot quench true faith. He cannot take away your testimony. Yes, these things can be lost by succumbing to his temptations. but he has no power in and of himself to destroy them."

"The genius of the gospel plan is that by doing those things the Lord counsels us to do, we are given every understanding and ever capacity necessary to provide peace and right fulfillment in this life. Likewise, we gain the preparation necessary for eternal happiness in the presence of the Lord."

-Richard G. Scott
