"I am under the strongest impression, that the most valuable consideration, and that which will be of the most service when we return to the spirit world, will be that of having established a proper and well defined character as faithful and consistent Latter-day Saints in this state of probation."
" . . . establish a character before God that could be relied upon in the hour of trial, and that would fit them to associate with the holy beings and with the Father himself when they have passed into the spirit world."
"Righteous character traits develop within us gradually as we exercise faith and repent of our wrongdoings. Such traits are not the products of accident or chance, neither are they acquired in a day, a week, a month, or a year, but are gradual developments, the result of continued faithfulness to God and to truth, independent of the plaudits or criticisms of men."
"Our character, as Latter-day Saints, should be preserved inviolate, at whatever cost or sacrifice."
- Lorenzo Snow - (Teachings of Presidents of the Church Lorenzo Snow, Lesson 8)
