Nevertheless he that endureth in faith and doeth my will, the same shall overcome, and shall receive an inheritance upon the earth. . . . - D&C 63:20

"Sometimes the things that hold you down are the things that hold you up," said President David O. McKay in the April 1961 general conference.

"One time or another we all face adversity's chilling wind. One man flees from it, and like an unresisting kite falls to the ground. Another yields no retreating inch, and the wind that would destroy him lifts him as readily to the heights. We are not measured by the trials we meet, only by those we overcome."
