God loves us the devil hates us. God wants us to have a fulness of joy as He has. The devil wants us to be miserable as he is. God gives us commandments to bless us. The devil would have us break these commandments to curse us.

[Joseph Smith] foresaw the time when the destiny of the nation would be in danger and would hang as by a thread. Thank God he did not see the thread break.

Now we not only need to say more about the Book of Mormon, but we need to do more with it.
Ezra Taft Benson
Are we reading the Constitution and pondering it? Are we aware of its principles? Are we abiding by these principles and teaching them to others? Could we defend the Constitution? Can we recognize when a law is constitutionally unsound? Do we know what the prophets have said about the Constitution and the threats to it?
Ezra Taft Benson
In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin.
Ezra Taft Benson
Christ wants to lift us to where He is. Do we desire to do the same for others?
