I had to go look this up in it's entirety after it was quoted by a second speaker (Paul V. Johnson) on Sunday morning.
"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God... and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven."
Orson F. Whitney, April 1929 Conference Report
"Pain is a gauge of the healing process, it often teaches us patience."
Elder Kent F. Richards' talk, Saturday morning session
"Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions.The desires we act on determine our changing our achieving and our becoming."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks's talk, Saturday afternoon session
"Sometimes a single phrase of testimony can set events in motion that affect someone's life for eternity."
President Dieter F. Uctdorf, Sunday morning session
"We testify to every nation kindred, tongue, and people that God not only lives, but that he speaks. That for our time and in our day the counsel you have heard is under the direction of the Holy Spirit - the will of the Lord, the word of the Lord, the voice of the Lord and the power of God unto salvation."
Elder Jeffery R. Holland, Sunday afternoon session
