"Today temples dot the earth as sacred places of ordinances and covenants, of edification, and of refuge from the storm. In temples, we receive the most important, most significant, and holiest of all the ordinances in our Church. I testify that it is worth every effort to receive the blessings of the temple." — David A. Bednar
"I promise you that living and maintaining temple-worthy lives will hold together all that really matters. The sweet blessings of peace, happiness, and joy, along with the blessings of eternal life and celestial glory with our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, will be realized." —Quentin L. Cook
"Temple work … gives a wonderful opportunity for keeping alive our spiritual knowledge and strength. … The mighty perspective of eternity is unraveled before us in the holy temples; we see time from its infinite beginning to its endless end; and the drama of eternal life is unfolded before us. Then I see more clearly my place amidst the things of the universe, my place among the purposes of God; I am better able to place myself where I belong, and I am better able to value and to weigh, to separate and to organize the common, ordinary duties of my life, so that the little things shall not oppress me or take away my vision of the greater things that God has given us." — Elder John A. Widtsoe
