Virtue
“You cannot afford to do anything that would place a curtain between you and the ministering of angels in your behalf. You cannot be immoral in any sense. You cannot be dishonest. You cannot cheat or lie. You cannot take the name of God in vain or use filthy language and still have the right to the ministering of angels.”
– Gordon B. Hinckley
“No amount of time in front of the mirror will make you as attractive as having the Holy Ghost with you.”
– Sheri Dew

– George Albert Smith
“Selective obedience brings selective blessings, and choosing something bad over something worse is still choosing wrong. You can’t watch a bad movie and expect to feel virtuous because you did not watch a very bad one. Faithful observance of some commandments doesn’t justify neglecting others.”
– Jorg Klebingat
“Never give up what you want most for what you want today.”
– Neal A. Maxwell
“We may not prevent the birds from flying over our heads, but we can prevent them from building nests in our hair.”
