"We who hold the priesthood of God cannot afford to drift. We have work to do. We must arise from the dust of self-indulgence and be men! It is a wonderful aspiration for a boy to become a man — strong and capable; someone who can build and create things, run things; someone who makes a difference in the world."
"In large measure, true manhood is defined in our relationship to women."
"Integrity is fundamental to being men. Integrity means being truthful, but it also means accepting responsibility and honoring commitments and covenants."
"Good men sometimes make mistakes. A man of integrity will honestly face and correct his mistakes, and that is an example we can respect. Sometimes men try but fail. Not all worthy objectives are realized despite one's honest and best efforts. True manhood is not always measured by the fruits of one's labors, but by the labors themselves — by one's striving."
"The Lord asked his disciples what manner of men they should be, and then answered, 'Verily, I say unto you, even as I am.'"
The Savior was fearless in opposing evil and error. He gave his life to redeem mankind. "Surely we can accept responsibility for those he entrusts to our care."
