“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. Great power can come from memorizing scriptures. To memorize a scripture is to forge a new friendship. It 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.”

Elder Richard G. Scott, The Power of Scripture, October 2011, General Conference

Doctrine and Covenants 84:85  …treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man.
