What important lesson is learned from this brief entry in the record concerning Lehi’s righteousness?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Lehi is relegated to the wings, as it were, while his brother, Nephi, is the main actor on the stage of this part of history. So it was with Sam, brother of the earlier Nephi, and so it was centuries later with Hyrum Smith, while his brother Joseph took center stage. President Howard W. Hunter counseled: ‘If you feel that much of what you do … does not make you very famous, take heart. Most of the best people who ever lived weren’t very famous either. Serve and grow, faithfully and quietly’” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 2:100).
