Boyd K. Packer

Modesty, a virtue of a refined individual or society, is all but gone.

At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can 'see' things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.

You shall be warned of dangers and shall be guided through the whisperings of the Holy Spirit.
