"I have concluded that spiritual guidance in large measure depends on being in harmony with the president of the church, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve — all of whom are sustained, as they were today, as prophets, seers and revelators. I do not know how we can expect to be in full harmony with the Spirit of the Lord if we are not in harmony with the president of the church and the other prophets, seers and revelators."
"My counsel to the members of the church is to support the president of the church, First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve and other general authorities with our whole hearts and souls. If we do, we will be in a safe harbor."
"I have admired and respected every bishop I ever had. I have tried not to question their guidance and have felt that in sustaining and following their counsel I was protected against the 'sleight of men, and cunning craftiness.' This was because each of these called and chosen leaders was entitled to the divine revelation that comes with the calling. Disrespect for ecclesiastical leaders has caused many to suffer spiritual weakening and downfall. We should look past any perceived imperfections, warts or spots of the men called to preside over us, and uphold the office which they hold."
"I believe that never before in the history of the church has there been more unity than exists among my brethren of the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve and the other general authorities."
