“Patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Continue in Patience,” Ensign, May 2010, 57

“The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try. We must try to believe. Try to learn of God: read the scriptures; study the words of His latter-day prophets; choose to listen to the Father, and do the things He asks of us. Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible—and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you.”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Love of God,” Ensign, Nov. 2009, 23

"True love requires action. We can speak
of love all day long, we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing
songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it but until we
manifest that love in action, our words are nothing but sounding brass, or
a tinkling cymbal." Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“We don’t acquire eternal life in a sprint—this is a race of endurance. We have to apply and reapply the divine gospel principles. Day after day we need to make them part of our normal life.”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Way of the Disciple,” Ensign, May 2009, 75
