Moral standards cannot be changed by battle and cannot be changed by ballot.

The scriptures hold the keys to spiritual protection.

Happiness will depend on what each of us does with what each has, what we learn from what we do, and what we do thereafter.

Those who speak of blind obedience may appear to know many things, but they do not understand the doctrines of the gospel. There is an obedience that comes from a knowledge of the truth that transcends any external form of control. We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.

The answer is the same for everyone: we must, and we can, resist temptations of any kind.

In the eternal scheme of things - not always in mortality - righteous yearning and longing will be fulfilled.

Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.
