Scriptures, n. The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based.
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose.
Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.
My young sisters, we have such hope for you. We have such great expectations for you. Don't settle for less than what the Lord wants you to be... Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon... Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity.
