"Priesthood bearers are led by (their) promises to prepare themselves and their families for the Lord's appearing. There is no need to be anxious about events leading up to the Second Coming. Let us instead be filled with gratitude for our understanding of what lies ahead. Let us appreciate that we are in charge of our own world, being the Lord's agents over that which he has entrusted us. The formula for success is simple: Be faithful. Unencumber your life. Lay up in store.
"Be faithful. As priesthood bearers, we cultivate a gentle touch and kindly word."
"Lay up in store. Wives are instrumental in this work, but they need husbands who lead out in family preparedness. Children need parents who instill in them this righteous tradition. They will then do likewise with their children and their stores will not fail.
"A cardinal principle of the gospel is to prepare for the day of scarcity. Work, industry, frugality are part of the royal order of life."
"Inspired preparation rests on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ, obedience and a provident lifestyle. Members should not go to extremes, but they should begin."
"We shall be prepared, and because we are prepared, we 'shall not fear."'
