Gordon B. Hinckley Quotes

Everybody is going to die, so people are enthralled by the possibility that they don't have to completely die, that there is something that comes afterward. It's like if you're going to France for the summer, you're going to read up on it. Everyone just wants to know where they're going, or if they're going anywhere.

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.

Ten out of ten people die. You start thinking about that and it really makes you start to ask the big questions: Where did I come from? Where am I going when I die? What happens when we step out of here? What's out there?

Death is the veil which those who live call life; They sleep, and it is lifted.

I don't think that because you die and move on to somewhere else that you lose your sense of humor.

I am through with this body, and what becomes of it will make no difference with me in the future.
