President Harold B. Lee said at the end of a conference in 1946, "As the Latter-day Saints go home from this conference, it would be well if they consider seriously the importance . . . of this conference and let it be the guide to their walk and talk during the next six months. These are the important matters the Lord sees fit to reveal to this people in this day."
President Spencer W. Kimball said, "No text or volume outside the standard works of the Church should have such a prominent place on your personal library shelves" than your copy of general conference.
Elder David A. Bednar said, "Learning by faith requires spiritual, mental, and physical exertion and not just passive reception."
Elder Richard G. Scott said, "It is through the repeated process of feeling impressions, recording them, and obeying them that one learns to depend on the direction of the Spirit more than on communication through the five senses."
Elder Richard G. Scott also said, "There is a power that can change lives in the specific words recorded in the standard works. That power is weakened when we paraphrase or alter the actual wording."
