The Book of Mormon offers so much that broadens our understandings of the doctrines of salvation. Without it, much of what is taught in other scriptures would not be nearly so plain and precious.
From Ezra Taft Benson
In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin.
Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life.
Was it not through pride that the devil became the devil? Christ wanted to serve. The devil wanted to rule.
To the proud, the applause of the world rings in their ears; to the humble, the applause of heaven warms their hearts.
Faith is the foundation upon which a godlike character is built. It is a prerequisite for all other virtues.
Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan.
Every man eventually is backed up to the wall of faith, and there he must make his stand.
Sound principles and eternal truths need to be frequently repeated so that we do not forget their application nor become dissuaded by other arguments.
In the beginning, Adam was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow - not Eve. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother's place is in the home!
