We must never fear robbers or murderers. They are dangers from the outside, small dangers. It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer. Why should we be troubled by a threat to our person or our pocket? What we have to beware of is the threat to our souls.
...A priest must never speak to protect himself against other men. Men do as God allows them to do. We may only pray to Him when we feel ourselves to be in danger, and we must pray, not for ourselves but for our brother, lest through us he fall into sin.Speaker: Victor HugoSource: Les MiserablesPosted: 18 Mar 2009 at 8:11 PMComments: None...

If every man in this church who has been ordained to the Melchizedek priesthood were to qualify himself to hold a temple recommend and then were to go to the house of the Lord and renew his covenants in solemnity before God and witness, we would be a better people. There would be little or no infidelity among us. Divorce would almost entirely disappear. So much of heartache and heartbreak would be avoided. There would be a greater measure of peace and love and happiness in our homes. There would be fewer weeping wives and weeping children. There would be a greater measure of appreciation and of mutual respect among us. And I am confident the Lord would smile with greater favor upon us.

He can in that way weaken our testimony and so cut us loose from the line of keys by which the Lord ties to Him and can take us and our families home to Him and to our Heavenly Father.

We need to pray for the Holy Ghost to help us know that men who lead us hold [the] power [of the Lord].
