Let us follow the Son of God in all ways and in all walks of life. Let us make Him our exemplar and our guide. We should at every opportunity ask ourselves, ‘What woud Jesus do?’ and then be more courageious to act upon the answer. We must follow Christ, in the best sense f that word. We must be about his work as he was about his Father’s. We should try to be like him.”
--- Howard W. Hunter
Ensign, May 1994, p.64

Moroni 7:48
- Now, my brethren and sisters, the time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understadning of the grand millenial mission of this The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a season to be strong. It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and the importance of our mission. It is a time to do what is right regarless of the consequences that might follow. It is a time to be found keeping the commandments. It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain. It is a time ot be considerate and goo, decent and courteous toward one another in all of our relationships. In other words, to become more Christlike.
--- Gordon B Hinckley
Ensign, May 1995, p 71
- We must know Christ better than we know him; we must remember him more often than we remember him; we must serve him more valiently than we serve him. Then we will drink water sprining up unto eternal life and will eat the bread of life ... What manner of men and women ought we be? Even as he is.

- Charity ... is a love beyond the emotion we might feel for or from others. It isn’t a ‘what’s in it for me?’ kind of love. Being friendly, generous, and respectful of others moves us along the way from self-concern, but the selflessness of the kind of love that Christ commanded us to learn is a high step indeed. ‘Bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you’ (3 Ne 12:44) He promises that as we learn that kind of love, we can become perfect!”

--- words of Mormon, written by Moroni
Moroni 7:45
- But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
