“It is not easy to go without-without physical gratifications or spiritual assurances or material possessions, but sometimes we must, since there is no guarantee of convenience written into our Christian covenant. We must work hard and do right, as Abraham Lincoln said, and sometime our chance will come. And when we've tried, really tried, and waited for what seemed never to be ours, then we may experience what the Savior experienced when 'the angels came, and ministered unto him.' (Matthew 4:11.) Surely that is worth waiting for.” — Jeffrey R. Holland
