MONSON_medium“Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle.  Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God’s approval.  Courage becomes a living and an attractive virtue when it is regarded not only as a willingness to die manfully, but as the determination to live decently.  A moral coward is one who is afraid to do what he thinks is right because others will disapprove or laugh.  Remember that all men have their fears, but those who face their fears with dignity have courage as well.”
– Thomas S. Monson
