HUMILITY


1)    “The spirit must be freed from tethers so strong and feelings never put to rest, so that the lift of life may give buoyancy to the soul. In many families, there are hurt feelings and a reluctance to forgive. It doesn’t really matter what the issue was. It cannot and should not be left to injure. Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals.” 

~President Monson (Hidden Wedges APR 2002)

2) "Those who will “inherit the kingdom of God”¹¹ are those who become “as achild, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love.”¹² “For every onethat exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”

 ~Dieter F. Uchtdorf (You Matter to Him – OCT 2011)

3)“Humilityis a fertile soil where spirituality grows and produces the fruit ofinspiration to know what to do. It gives access to divine power toaccomplish what must be done.” 

~Richard G. Scott (How to Obtain Revelation and Inspiration for your personal life – APR 2012)

4)  “When we see the world around us through the lens ofthe pure love of Christ, we begin to understand humility.” 

~Dieter F. Uchtdorf (Pride and the Priesthood – OCT 2010)

5) “Some suppose that humility is about beating ourselves up. Humility doesnot mean convincing ourselves that we are worthless, meaningless, or oflittle value. Nor does it mean denying or withholding the talents God has given us. We don’t discover humility by thinking less of ourselves; we discover humility by thinking less about ourselves. It comes as we goabout our work with an attitude of serving God and our fellowman.” 

~Dieter F. Uchtdorf (Pride and the Priesthood – OCT 2010)

6) “To hope and trust in theLord requires faith, patience, humility, meekness, long-suffering, keepingthe commandments, and enduring to the end.” 

~Robert D. Hales ( Waiting Upon the Lord: Thy Will be Done – OCT 2011)

7) “Humility is that quality that permits us to be taught from on high throughthe Spirit or to be taught from sources whose origin was inspiration fromthe Lord, such as the scriptures and the comments of the prophets.Humility is the precious fertile soil of righteous character.” 

~Richard G. Scott (The Transforming Power of Faith and Character – OCT 2010)

8) “But in humility we need not be timid in remembering the Lord’s words.” 

~Neil L. Andersen (Come Unto Him – APR 2009)

9) “…repentance involves an attitude of humility. In order to prepare to be baptized and take upon ourselves the name of Christ, we must humbleourselves before Him—offer our sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit and accept His will.” 

~L Tom Perry (The Gospel of Jesus Christ – APR 2008)

10)”Turn unto the Lord, seek his forgiveness, and unite yourselves in humilitywith his kingdom. There is no other way. If you will do this, your sins willbe blotted out, peace will come and remain, and you will become a part ofthe kingdom of God in preparation for Christ’s second coming” 

~Ezra Taft Benson ( A Message to the World – OCT 1975)
