"Strong moral character results from consistent correct choices in the trials and testing of life. Such choices are made with trust in things that are believed and when acted upon are confirmed."
-Richard G. Scott
(The Transforming Power of Faith and Character: October 2010)
"Clearly, moral values with respect to honesty can play a significant role in establishing light and truth and improving society and should be valued by those who do not have faith."
-Quentin L. Cook
(Let There Be Light! October 2010)
"... in societies where citizens are taught from a young age to feel accountable to God for honesty and integrity, they will abide by rules and practices that, while unenforceable, promote democratic ideals. In societies where this is not true, there cannot be enough policeman to enforce honest behavior."
-Quentin L. Cook
(Let There Be Light! October 2010)
"Honesty is also a valued attribute in many other faiths and in historic literature. The poet Robert Burns said, 'An honest man's the noblest work of God.'"
-Quentin L. Cook
(Let There Be Light! October 2010)
"Think about the impact on society if youth didn't cheat in school, if adults were honest in the workplace and were faithful to their marriage vows. For us the concept of basic honesty is grounded in the life and teachings of the Savior."

"I want the happiness we have found together to be yours. The more closely you personally adhere to His plan for you on earth, the greater will be your happiness, fulfillment, and progress; the more qualified you will be to receive the rewards He has promised for obedience."
-Richard G. Scott
(The Joy of Living the Great Plan of Happiness: October 1996)
"Generally you have no idea of how truly wonderful and capable you are, how very much appreciated and loved, or how desperately needed, for most men don't tell you as completely and as often as needed."

"Hypocrisy is terribly destructive, not only to the hypocrite but also to those who observe or know of his or her conduct, especially children. It is faith destroying, whereas honor is the rich soil in which the seed of faith thrives."
-D. Todd Christofferson
(Reflections on a Consecrated Life: October 2010)
"A consecrated life is a life of integrity. We see it in the husband and wife "who honor marital vows with complete fidelity." We see it in the father and mother whose demonstrated first priority is to nourish their marriage and ensure the physical and spiritual welfare of their children. We see it in those who are honest."
