Russell M. NelsonLearn to listen, and listen to learn from neighbors. Repeatedly the Lord has said, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor.” Opportunities to listen to those of diverse religious or political persuasion can promote tolerance and learning.

Joseph SmithHappiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God. But we cannot keep all the commandments without first knowing them, and we cannot expect to know all, or more than we now know unless we comply with or keep those we have already received.
