“Here is one of the most important single-line teachings in all of scripture. … If we want to feel real love toward God and toward other persons, we must bridle our passions or emotions. A bridle does not suppress the spirited creature (whether horse or human) but is used to control or direct. [Alma] did not say eliminate or even suppress your passions, but to bridle them—harness, channel, and focus them. Why? Because discipline makes possible a richer, deeper love” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 2:33).
