"The word saint in Greek denotes "set apart, separate, [and]
holy." (Encyclopedia of Mormonism, 5 vols. (1992), 3:1249.) If we are to be
Saints in our day, we need to separate ourselves from evil conduct and
destructive pursuits that are prevalent in the world.... If we are to be worthy
Saints, we should minister to others and adhere to the Savior's admonition to
love God and our fellowmen. " - Quentin L. Cook, "Are
You a Saint?," General Conference, 5 October

"I know that many of you are concerned about raising your children
during these difficult times and increasing their faith. When my wife and I were
starting our family in the San Francisco Bay Area, we had that same concern. At
a critical point our stake members were advised by Elder Harold B. Lee, then a
member of the Twelve, that we could raise our families in righteousness if we
would:
Follow the prophet.
Create the true spirit of the gospel in our hearts and homes.
Be a light to those among whom we live.
Focus on the ordinances and principles taught in the temple. (See D&C 115:5; Harold B. Lee, “Your Light to Be a Standard unto the Nations,” Ensign, Aug. 1973, 3–4.)"

"Regardless
of our trials, with the abundance we have today, we would be ungrateful if we
did not appreciate our blessings. Despite the obvious nature of the hardships
the pioneers were experiencing, President Brigham Young talked about the
significance of gratitude. He stated, 'I
do not know of any, excepting the unpardonable sin, that is greater than the sin
of ingratitude.'" - Quentin L. Cook, "Hope Ya Know, We Had a Hard Time," General
Conference, October 2008

“It has been
suggested that what happens in a certain city stays in a certain city. I like
the sign posted in Sevier County, Utah, which states, ‘What happens in Sevier
County . . . you can share with your friends!!!’ When we realize that we are
accountable to God, we see how foolish rationalizations can be. Those who
rationalize remind us of little children who cover their eyes, convinced that if
they can’t see us, we can’t see them. I would suggest that if we think about
giving an accounting of our actions to the Savior, our rationalizations will be
seen in their true light.” – Quentin L. Cook,
“Stewardship—a Sacred Trust,” Ensign, November 2009
