Today is a day of
eternity. I hope each day we are thankful for life, for knowing that
we are sons and daughters of God and that the fulness of the gospel of
Jesus Christ is upon the earth. I hope we will have a desire and a
determination to make each day a good day. - George I. Cannon, “Today—A
Day of Eternity,” Ensign (CR) October 1991

Now I would like to speak to those of you in your youth. This is a
great time to be young. You are living in the most exciting period of
this world’s history. You are also living in the most challenging. We
know there are many temptations, but we have confidence in you. The
Lord has confidence and faith in you. There is unlimited growth ahead
for you if you are willing to work hard and earn it. Be happy! Be glad
you are you.
Follow the wise counsel of Alma to his son Helaman given centuries
ago: “O, remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn
in thy youth to keep the commandments of God” (Alma
37:35). – George I. Cannon, “A
Father Speaks,” Ensign (CR) November 1986
