Gordon B. Hinckley Time Quotations

We’ve got to have a little humor in our lives. You had better take seriously that which should be taken seriously but, at the same time, we can bring in a touch of humor now and again. If the time ever comes when we can’t smile at ourselves, it will be a sad time.

When you are young, do not get involved in steady dating. When you reach an age where you think of marriage, then is the time to become so involved.
