"As individuals, we do not know when the end of mortality will come. We need to develop the ability to endure and complete our responsibilities of today, however difficult the days ahead may be. May we be able to say as Paul said to Timothy, ‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept my faith' (2 Tim. 4:7)."

Robert D. Hales, Ensign, May 1998, 75
