Charles Wilson Nibley (February 5, 1849—December 11, 1931) was the fifth presiding bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1907 and 1925 and a member of the church's First Presidency from 1925 until his death.
There is no excellence anywhere without labor. We would think a man foolish indeed who would say, 'l am willing that my business should prosper, or that my farm should yield plentifully, but I'll not stir a peg.' But he is no more foolish than the man who says, 'I am willing that God should bless me abundantly, but I shall not do anything toward that end myself.' We must consistently rely upon the help of the Lord, but we will not make any progress or meet with any success unless we put forth an earnest effort.
