"Just as little children trust, each of us must have that same
childlike, unreserved trust. We must all remember that we are sons and
daughters of God and that He loves us very much. If we truly
understand who we are, we will have an unfailing source of hope and
comfort. We can never complete 'the race that is set before us' (Hebrews
12:1) without placing our hand in the Lord's." — W. Craig Zwick,

Lord Thy God Will Hold Thy Hand ," General Conference, 4 October

"President
Boyd K. Packer has recently emphasized this guiding principle: 'However
out of step we may seem, however much the standards are belittled,
however much others yield, we will not yield, we cannot yield.
("The
Standard of Truth Has Been Erected," Liahona
and Ensign, Nov. 2003, 26.)
"Do we recognize temptation when it is so well camouflaged?
"Are we willing to fight the unpopular battle?
"Paul clearly warned that we should not be 'men-pleasers; but [be] the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.' (Ephesians 6:6.)
"The time has come when we must take an unyielding stand. We must shore up our spiritual underpinnings, listen to the prophets of God, and follow their counsel." - W. Craig Zwick, "We Will Not Yield, We Cannot Yield," General Conference, April 2008

We all want to be on
the right road. We all desire to move effectively down that highway of
life with the least amount of detours and delays. We all have moments
when we get slightly confused and need additional help in making correct
choices. We are frequently at a crossroads where we must choose one of
two highways: the lower road leading to spiritual delays and sorrow, or
the higher road leading to spiritual progress and happiness. It is very
important for us to always choose the higher road. - W.
Craig Zwick, "Taking
the Higher Road," Ensign, August 2002

We must
trust in the Lord. If we give ourselves freely to Him, our burdens
will be lifted and our hearts will be consoled. - W. Craig

There
exists today a great need for men and women to cultivate respect for
each other across wide distances of belief and behavior and across
deep canyons of conflicting agendas. It is impossible to know all
that informs our minds and hearts or even to fully understand the
context for the trials and choices we each face.
Nevertheless, what would happen to the “corrupt communication” Paul
spoke about if our own position included empathy for another’s
experience first? Fully owning the limits of my own imperfections
and rough edges, I plead with you to practice asking this question,
with tender regard for another’s experience: “What are you
thinking?” - W. Craig Zwick, “What
Are You Thinking?” Ensign (CR) May 2014

The
writer of Proverbs counsels, “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but
grievous words stir up anger” (Proverbs
15:1). A “soft answer” consists of a reasoned
response—disciplined words from a humble heart. It does not mean we
never speak directly or that we compromise doctrinal truth. Words
that may be firm in information can be soft in spirit. - W.

Are You Thinking?” Ensign (CR) May 2014

It requires courage to make good choices, even when others around us
choose differently. As we make righteous choices day by day in
little things, the Lord will strengthen us and help us choose the
right during more difficult times. - W.

Will Not Yield, We Cannot Yield,” Ensign, (CR) April 2008

Each person wants to feel safe in what is sometimes a very cruel,
competitive world. Everyone is of great worth because each is a
spirit child of God. - W. Craig
Zwick, “Encircled
in the Savior's Love,” Ensign (CR), November 1995, p.13
