• To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of.

• If there is one word that describes the meaning of character, it is the word honor. Without honor, civilization would not long exist. Without honor, there could be no dependable contracts, no lasting marriages, no trust or happiness. What does the word honor mean to you?

  Ezra Taft Benson

  Suzy Kassem
