"There are no other places in the world where our thoughts are lifted to such spiritual heights as they are in the tranquility of the temple. . . . It is clear from the teachings of Joseph Smith that the place of the temple in the Church is very significant. Temples are necessary for the Lord to reveal to His children the ordinances of His house, the glories of His kingdom. The temple is the place where one takes his bearing on the universe." - President Howard W. Hunter

"What a privilege to be in the house of the Lord. I bear witness that the ordinances performed in this house are sacred ordinances. . . . May we find our way home through the rest of our lives to that home where there will be no parting." - Elder Boyd K. Packer"We should not be surprised . . . that as the Church membership increases, so does temple building. Think of it. Spiritual power is generated within temple walls and sent out to bless the world. As we attend temple dedications and regular sessions to serve those who have gone on before us, participate personally in sacred ordinances, ponder, pray and meditate, we, too help in generating spiritual power for ourselves and the world. Temple attendance will have an impact for good on all members." - Elder Marvin J. Ashton

"Take advantage of this temple as often as you can. When you get to other parts of the world, you see what people are willing to do to get to a temple of the Lord." - Elder M. Russell Ballard

"We are so pleased to see so many youth in the temple today. Keep the memories of this day. . . . What covenants of priceless worth we receive in the temple. I pray that we may come to the temple frequently. I solemnly testify that the work of temples, for the living and the dead, is absolutely essential. . . ." - Elder Richard G. Scott

"The Lord's plan comprehends all people, in all periods of time, in all places. As we rededicate this temple, we make it available again . . . to undertake the ministry of carrying the plan of life and salvation to all those who have ever lived on the earth. There is no place . . . where God's plan for His children is more explicitly taught than in the temple. When we come here, we should come with a deep sense of thanksgiving, a sense of gratitude." - Elder Dean L. Larsen

"The temple is the most effective place on earth to prepare ourselves, to qualify ourselves, to have our burdens lifted. We are strengthened and renewed in the temple. I testify there is a God in heaven and this is His house. He will bless us as we come here. - Elder H. Burke Peterson

"Eternal family units are formed in the temple, where the sacred sealing keys are exercised. In the holy temple we make sacred covenants and partake of sacred ordinances. They go together." - Elder Alexander B. Morrison

"All of the work in the temple is to help people find that great road to eternal life - and to take it." - Roy R. Spackman, temple president

"Here in the house of the Lord we experience the sanctifying process of casting off the world." - Sister Elaine L. Jack

"In the temple, my soul has found peace concerning questions for which my mind had no answers." - Sister Ardeth G. Kapp
