1. 1923·Charles W. Penrose·Apostle
   When we hear these glad reports concerning the spread of the work in foreign lands, it gives us pleasure and gives us courage to still press

2. 1951·Marion G. Romney·Apostle
   I could not give her, nor can I extend to you, much hope and courage based upon an expectation that we are about to enter upon a period of world peace and security. I do not expect any such happy circumstances to prevail in the immediate future. As I read the signs of the times, in light of the revealed word of God, we are in line for something quite different.

3. 1955·Spencer W. Kimball·Apostle
   It took courage for Alma and the princes to admit they were wrong, but they went about "zealously striving to repair all the injuries which they had done to the church." (See Mos. 27:35.)

4. 1970·Richard L. Evans·Apostle
   May I quote to you the last line of the hymn we had just concluded singing: "Have courage, my boy; have courage, my boy, to say no." I used as my theme that bright June day: "Have courage, my boy, to say yes," and it requires courage every time I stand at this pulpit.

5. 1975·Marion G. Romney·Apostle
   In our Church literature we find many examples of high courage. Consider, for example, a moment, the Prophet Joseph Smith. When he told the Protestant minister in his area about his First Vision, he was met with scorn and ridicule.

6. 1988·Russell M. Nelson·Apostle
   Strength and courage also characterize another couple. As faithful members of the Church, they had always upheld its doctrines, including the twelfth article of faith. When their country went to war, military conscription called the dutiful husband away from his wife before either had learned she was to bear their child. He was captured by enemy troops and taken as a prisoner of war. Months elapsed. Their baby came. Still no word to know whether the new father was alive. A year after his capture, he was permitted to write to his wife.
