Latter-day Saint males 12 and older are members of a quorum in the priesthood. The strength of a quorum comes in large measure from how completely its members are united in righteousness.

"That unity in a strong quorum of the priesthood is not like anything I have experienced in an athletic team or club or any other organization in the world."

"One of the hallmarks of a strong quorum is the feelings of fellowship among its members. They care for each other. They help each other. Quorum presidents can build that fellowship best if they remember the Lord's purpose for unity in the quorum. It is of course so that they will help each other. But it is much more. It is so that they will lift and encourage each other to serve in righteousness with the master in his work to offer eternal life to Heavenly Father's children."

"My prayer is that you will accept the Lord's invitation to become united, as one, in our quorums of the priesthood."

"Priesthood quorum members are taught in more ways than by lessons in a class. The quorum is a service unit and the members learn in their service. A quorum can give greater service than the members could give alone."

"Miracles of power can come as quorums reach out and serve others."
