"We have paused on some plateaus long enough. Let us resume our journey forward and upward." —President Spencer W. Kimball, April 1979
"The temple is the object of every activity, every lesson, every progressive step in the Church. All of our efforts in proclaiming the gospel, perfecting the Saints, and redeeming the dead lead to the holy temple. Ordinances of the temple are absolutely crucial. We cannot return to God’s glory without them."— Elder Russell M. Nelson
"The ultimate end of all activity in the Church is that a man and his wife and their children might be happy at home, protected by the principles and laws of the gospel, sealed safely in the covenants of the everlasting priesthood." —Boyd K. Packer
