"The Savior taught, 'And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God.' The promises of the gospel are uplifting and ennobling, even exalting. We receive those promises by covenants which are conditioned on our living lives of purity and morality. When we live right and seek to purify our hearts, we draw closer to God and to the Spirit. The condition of our heart determines how much evidence of divinity we see in the world now and qualifies us for the eventual realization of the promise that the pure 'shall see God.' Ours is a quest for purity."
"If something in a movie 'isn't too bad,' that automatically means that it isn't too good either. Thus, the fact that others watch movies or open Web sites that aren't appropriate is no excuse for us. Priesthood holders' lives should emulate the standards of the Savior and his church, not the standards of the world."
"Along with losing the spirit, pornography users also lose perspective and proportion."
"If you are already caught in the pornography trap, now is the time to free yourself with the help of the Savior. There is a way out, but you will need his help to escape. Your complete recovery will depend upon your complete repentance."
