“How we treat our family members, our neighbors, business associates, and all we meet will reveal if we have taken His name upon us and do always remember Him. How we conduct our lives, all we do and all we say, reflects on how we remember Him.” (Robert D. Hales, Ensign, Nov. 1997, p. 25)
[Regarding a conversation with two missionaries] “… I climbed into the front seat of the car… . After we had become acquainted, I leaned back over the seat and asked, ‘What would you like to know about?’ Both of them, eagerly and almost in chorus, said, ‘Tell us how we can become more humble.’ You might have struggled with that as I did… . They already had the first lesson in their hearts. The fact that they even asked meant that they had gone beyond being overwhelmed by their doubts about themselves to hope that if they would just submit, if they could just learn what to do, they could be better. If I had the chance again, I would have … given them just this one bit of counsel, counsel about what to do. I would have said just this: ‘Always remember him’ (Moro. 4:3; 5:2).” (Henry B. Eyring, Ensign, May 1995, p. 25)
