"Learn to accept adversity. No matter who you are or where you serve,
you are
going to have some. But do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember,
a kite
rises against the wind, rather than with it!" —
Jacob de Jager, " Service
and Happiness ," General
Conference, October 1993
(9/6/02)
"The key, however, is to boldly face disappointments and the pains
that
accompany them. If you deny them or hide them from view, the chances
are great
that you will become worn out and fail. If, on the other hand, you
meet them in
a prayerful attitude asking for inner strength to overcome, the
original
disappointment will turn into an element of great strength and a firm
foundation
for further growth." — Jacob de Jager, " Overcoming
Discouragement ," "New
Era," Mar. 1984, p. 7

"While on our spiritual flight, let us totally empty our ballast bag
of pride and be more humble in all things, always remembering the
Saviors glorious promise to all: 'And inasmuch as you have humbled
yourselves before me, the blessings of the kingdom are yours.' (D&C
61:37.)" - Jacob de Jager,
"Climbing
to Higher Spirituality,"
Ensign (CR), May 1983, p.75

"To those who are
within the sound of my voice this day and who
have already entered the wicker basket of their spiritual balloon
through baptism into the kingdom of God but who are just sitting there,
waiting inactively for things to happen, cut the cords that hold you
back from lift-off.
"To those who are quietly drifting at the same elevation with little
upward mobility, take a close look at the ballast that prevents you
from going to a higher level of performance. Make a decision and remove
the restraining weight from your spiritual flight.
"I give you a solemn promise that if you do this, you will enjoy a
feeling of spiritual euphoria because you will elevate yourself." - Jacob
de Jager, "Climbing to Higher Spirituality," Ensign (CR), May 1983, p.

The greatest news of all times is
that Jesus lives and that his atoning sacrifice took place for all
people; and when they put their trust in him and indeed walk in
obedience to his commandments, there is a way for them to gain salvation
and exaltation. - Jacob de Jager, "The
Greatest News of All Times Is That Jesus Lives," Ensign (CR)
April 1986
