"Behold, here is wisdom, and let every man choose for himself until I come. Even so. Amen." — D&C 37:4
"The choice of life is not between fame and obscurity, nor between wealth and poverty — but between good and evil," said then-Elder Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve during the October 1980 general conference.
"Wealth and prominence do not always come from having earned them. Our worth is not measured by renown or by what we own.
"Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.
"The crucial test of life, I repeat, does not center in the choice between fame and obscurity, nor between wealth and poverty. The greatest decision of life is between good and evil.
"Position and wealth are no more essential to true happiness in mortality than their absence can prevent you from achieving it."
