True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior. Preoccupation with unworthy behavior can lead to unworthy behavior. That is why we stress so forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel.
Boyd K. PackerDispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
Boyd K. PackerHappiness will depend on what each of us does with what each has, what we learn from what we do, and what we do thereafter.
Boyd K. PackerDo not ever disturb prelude music for others, for reverence is essential to revelation
Boyd K. PackerYou always hold the key of repentance to unlock the prison door. If they throw the word diversity at you, grab hold of it and say, "I am already diverse, and I intend to stay diverse." If the word is tolerance, grab that one, too, saying, "I expect you to be tolerant of my lifestyle-obedience, integrity, abstinence, repentance." If the word is choice, tell them you choose good, old-fashioned morality.
