Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

Do not do what you would undo if caught.

The power of choice is a God-given gift, and the purpose of life is happiness. Things which pertain to the physical nature are so easily obtained and the pleasure so immediate that many spend most of their time seeking them and neglecting the permanent joys of the spirit. -DNCS, June 6, 1951, p. 2

Kimball (Ensign, May 1976, page 46) "Boys Need Heroes Close By"

  "The course of our lives is not determined by great, awesome decisions.  Our direction is set by the little day-to-day choices which chart the track on which we run."  -Gordon B. Hinckley (October 1973 General Conference Report, page 106)
