"I have a vision of

thousands of missionaries going into the mission field with hundreds of passages memorized from the Book

of Mormon so that they

might feed a spiritually famished world."

Pres. Ezra Taft Benson

"It is desirable that our children should learn to memorize important

passages; such that will

leave a strong impression upon their lives; scriptural passages that they will use

as a guiding star; scriptural passages that will help to

 form spiritual convictions

in their minds of right and wrong; scriptural passages that will bring conviction

 to their hearts. "

Elder Joseph M Tanner

Gen'l Conf, April 1901

"May I suggest that in our family night gatherings we make it a project to memorize one scripture citation a week pertinent to this work.  At the conclusion of a year our children will have on their lips a fund of scripture which will remain with them throughout their lives."

Pres. Gordon B Hinckley
