In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin.

I have a vision of the whole Church getting nearer to God by abiding by the precepts of the Book of Mormon.

Character is the one thing we make in this world and take with us into the next.

Every member of the priesthood should understand the divine plan designed by the Lord to raise up the first free people in modern times.

Rights are either God-given as part of the divine plan, or they are granted by government as part of the political plan. If we accept the premise that human rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the corollary that they can be denied by government.

Freedom can be killed by neglect as well as by direct attack.

Many of us have a tendency to forget the Gracious Hand which has preserved our nation, enriched it, strengthened it. Many of us imagine in the foolishness of pride, that our manifold blessings are due not to God's goodness, but to our own wisdom and virtue. Too many of us have been so drunk with self-sufficiency as no longer to feel the need of prayer.
