Pioneer Principles

“It is not enough to study or reenact the accomplishments of our pioneers. We need to identify the great, eternal principles they applied to achieve all they achieved for our benefit and then apply those principles to the challenges of our day. In that way we honor their pioneering efforts” -Dallin H. Oaks

“We are all needed to finish the work that was begun by those pioneering Saints…We need to believe as they believed. We need to work as they worked. We need to serve as they served. And we need to overcome as they overcame.” -Elder M. Russell Ballard

“There is something about reviewing the lessons of the past to prepare us to face the challenges of the future. What a glorious legacy of faith, courage, and ingenuity those noble early Mormon pioneers have left for us to build upon.” -Elder L. Tom Perry
