“For the television program 60 Minutes, [Mike Wallace] said, ‘[People will say] this is a church run by old men.’ To this, President Hinckley replied, ‘Isn’t it wonderful to have a man of maturity at the head–a man of judgment who isn’t blown about by every wind of doctrine?’ (Discourses of President Gordon B. Hinckley, Volume 1: 1995-1999 [2005], 509). . . . If any of you think the present leadership is too old to lead the Church, President Hinckley may need to give you some further counsel about the wisdom that comes with age!”

Topics: wisdom, leadership, example
