Julie B. Beck Quotes

There is eternal influence and power in motherhood.

Strong families are not an accident…They take thought and intention and preparation and skill.

You are doing better than you think you are. But we can be better.

Righteous women have changed the course of history and will continue to do so, and their influence will spread and grow exponentially throughout the eternities.

You can wake up every day looking forward to new adventures with hope smiling brightly before you because you have a Savior. You are baptized in His Church…. You just need to stay in, pressing forward with a brightness of hope to your heavenly home.

There’s an opportunity cost to everything.

It would be impossible to learn the lessons the scriptures contain by reading them only one time through or studying selected verses in a class.

The ability to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life.

Because personal revelation is a constantly renewable source of strength, it is possible to feel bathed in help even during turbulent times.

When mothers know who they are and who God is and have made covenants with Him, they will have great power and influence for good on their children.

Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all.

I hope our granddaughters and grandsons grow up knowing that they are not and have never been third-party observers of the priesthood. The blessings of the priesthood, which ‘are available to men and women alike’, are woven in and through and around their lives. Each of them is blessed by sacred ordinances, and each of them can enjoy the blessings of spiritual gifts by virtue of the priesthood.
