Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven. - D&C 121:45

"When I ponder what kind of men and boys we should be as priesthood holders, I cannot help but think of the Savior's question to the Nephite twelve when He asked, `Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am' (3 Ne. 27:27)," said President Ezra Taft Benson at the October 1986 general conference.
