"Despair, doom, and discouragement are not acceptable views of life for a Latter-day Saint. Even in the most severe of times, anciently or in modern times, those problems and prophecies were never intended to do anything but bless the righteous and help those who are less righteous move toward repentance. However, it requires a living faith to see the signs of the times, and to endure them."
President Howard W. Hunter, speaking at Brigham Young University, February 1992.
"Not only do I hope that we are familiar with these coming events, I hope also that we keep the vision of them continually before our minds. This I do because upon a knowledge of them and an assurance of their reality and a witness that each of us may have part therein rests the efficacy of Christ's admonition, 'Be not troubled'."
Elder Marion G. Romney
