Elder Richard G. Scott:
“[The scriptures] can become stalwart friends that are not limited by
geography or calendar. They are always available when needed. . . .
Learning, pondering, searching, and memorizing scriptures is like filling a
filing cabinet with friends, values, and truths that can be called upon
anytime, anywhere in the world. . . .
“. . . [Memorizing a scripture] is like
discovering a new individual who can help in time of need, give inspiration and
comfort, and be a source of motivation for needed change” (“The Power of
Scripture,” Ensign, Nov. 2011, 6).
