  10 Copy quote

• Once you accept the fact that people have 'individual choices' and they're 'free' to make those choices.  Free to make choices means without being influenced and I can't understand that at all.  All of us are influenced in all our choices by the culture we live in, by our parents, and by the values that dominate.  So, we're influenced.  So there can't be free choices.

• I believe it is of particular importance in our day, when Satan is raging in the hearts of men in so many new and subtle ways, that our choices and decisions be made carefully, consistent with the goals and objectives by which we profess to live. We need unequivocal commitment to the commandments and strict adherence to sacred covenants. When we allow rationalizations to prevent us from temple endowments, worthy missions, and temple marriage, they are particularly harmful. It is heartbreaking when we profess belief in these goals yet neglect the everyday conduct required to achieve them.
