"Agency is essential to the plan of happiness. It allows for the love, sacrifice, personal growth, and experience necessary for our eternal progression. This agency also allows for all the pain and suffering we experience in morality, even when caused by things we do not understand and the devastating evil choices of others. The very War in Heaven was waged over our mortal agency and is essential to understanding the Savior's earthly ministry."
Elder Quentin L. Cook, "Personal Peace: The Reward of Righteousness," General Conference April 2013

Family #9
“A good marriage and good family relationships can be maintained through
gentle, loving, thoughtful communication. Remember that often a glance,
a wink, a nod, or a touch will say more than words. A sense of humor
and good listening are also vital parts of good communication.”
Elder M.Russell Ballard, "Keeping Life's Demands In Balance," General Conference April 1987

"Be certain that every decision you make, whether temporal or spiritual, is conditioned on what the Savior would have you do. When He is the center of your home, there is peace and serenity. There is a spirit of assurance that pervades the home, and it is felt by all who dwell there."

Charity/Service #5
"I admonish you to be good citizens of the nations in which you live and good neighbors in your communities, reaching out to those of other faiths as well as to our own. May we be tolerant of, as well as kind and loving to, those who do not share our beliefs and our standards. The Savior brought to this earth a message of love and goodwill to all men and women. May we ever follow His example."

"Young men, I hope you appreciate the sacrifices which your parents so willingly make in order for you to serve. Their labors will sustain you, their faith encourage you, their prayers uphold you. A mission is a family affair. Though the expanse of continents or oceans may separate, hearts are as one."

Missionary Work #4
"At best, missionary work necessitates drastic adjustment to one's pattern of living. It requires long hours and great devotion, selfless sacrifice and fervent prayer. As a result, dedicated missionary service returns a dividend of eternal joy which extends throughout mortality and into eternity."

Missionary Work #3
"The holy scriptures contain no proclamation more relevant,, no responsibility more binding, no instruction more direct than the injunction given by the resurrected Lord as He appeared in Galilee to the eleven disciples. Said He:
'Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
'Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.'
This Divine command, ,coupled with its glorious promise, is our watchword today as it was in the meridian of time. Missionary work is an identifying feature of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Always it has been: ever it shall be. As the Prophet Joseph Smith declared, 'After all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the Gospel.' "
