“Life gives to all the choice. You can satisfy yourself with mediocrity if you wish. You can be common, ordinary, dull, colorless; or you can channel your life so that it will be clean, vibrant, progressive, useful, colorful, rich. You can soil your record, defile your soul, trample underfoot virtue, honor, and goodness, and thus forfeit an exaltation in the kingdom of God. Or you can be righteous and enjoy the love of the Lord. Your destiny is in your hands and your all-important decisions are your own to make”
-President Spencer W. Kimball. The Miracle of Forgiveness [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1969], p. 235).
