Brigham Young said:
"There is no doubt, if a person lives according to the revelations given to God's people, he may have the Spirit of the Lord to signify to him His will, and to guide and to direct him in the discharge of his duties, in his temporal as well as his spiritual exercises. I am satisfied, however, that in this respect, we live far beneath our privileges."Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. and arr. by John A. Widtsoe, Salt lake City, Deseret Book Co. 1973, p. 32
President Marion G. Romney said:
"You can make every decision in your life correctly if you can learn to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This you can do if you will discipline yourself to yield your own feelings to the promptings of the Spirit. Study your problems and prayerfully make a decision. Then take that decision and say to him, in a simple, honest supplication, "Father, I want to make the right decision. I want to do the right thing. This is what I think I should do; let me know if it is the right course." Doing this, you can get the burning in your bosom, if your decision is right...When you learn to walk by the Spirit, you never need to make a mistake."
Conference Report, Oct. 1961, p. 60-61. Quoted in Ensign, July 2006, p. 15.
