• Spencer W. Kimball, 1969 General Conference,”I am grateful to my parents, for they made reservoirs for my brothers, my sisters, and myself. They filled them with prayer habits, study, activities, positive services, and truth and righteousness. Every morning and every night, we knelt at our chairs with backs to the table and prayed, taking turns. When I was married, the habit persisted, and our new family continued the practice.”
• …When you read the scriptures, other people notice, expecially family members. They become curious and interested. Nephi’s brothers came to him asking questions.
• “As always, I am indebted to many people who have helped shape my thinking, particularly my beloved priesthood leaders through the decades who have built my faith in priesthood power by demonstrating that power in their own lives. I am grateful for men of power who have chosen to stand on higher ground and to resist the pull toward popularity while denying themselves of the pollutions and perils of this world. I thank God for noble examples of Christlike kindness, gentle persuasion, yet powerful leadership as manifest in their words and deeds. In his great intercessory prayer, Jesus said: “and for (the deciples) sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth” ). As Jesus, so many priesthood leaders have distanced themselves from defilement and, in the process, provided motivation and encouragement to those they were called to direct.” (Men of Influence, Robert Millet, Preface Page xi)
• “Above all else we can live the gospel. Surely there is no more powerful missionary message we can send to this world than the example of a loving and happy Latter-day Saint life. The manner and bearing, the smile and kindness of a faithful member of the Church brings a wrmth and an outreach which no missionary tract or videotape can convey. People do not join the Church because of what they know. They join because of what they feel, what they see and want spiritually. Our sprit of testimony and happiness in that regard will come through to others if we let it” (Jeffrey R. Holland, Ensign, May 2001, 14)
• “When a man honors his priesthood and lives in a manner to allow God to work through him, he becomes a Christ figure, a true Christian, an ambassador of his divine Principal. Similar to his Exemplar, he is on a mission of redemption, a journey that will take him wherever God leads him. People listen when he speaks. He is more wise than witty, more character-filled than cute. There is substance to him; his waters run deep. He is a man, a real man, a priesthood man, a man of Christ.” (Men of Influence, 50)
• “Emotional inheritances are quite different. They are composed of the values that you experienced and absorbed from your parents, grandparents, and other important people in your life. These people of influence may have taught you these values explicitly, or perhaps you picked them up simply through living around them and interacting with them. It is tis emotional inheritance (added to and enriched by your own life experience and living example) that you will pass on to your family and other people you know, whether or not you leave anything amounting to a financial inheritance. This emotional legacy is no less than the sum total of your life experience as evidenced by the values by which you lived. Values such as work, faith, philanthropy, and honesty. You received an emotional inheritance from your parents or grandparents while they lived. Your own children and grandchildren are receiving theirs from you right now.” Beating the Midas Curse, by Perry L. Cochell and Rodney C. Zeeb, Page 46

Ye have broken the hearts of your tender wives, and lost the confidence of your children, because of your bad examples before them; and the sobbings of their hearts ascend up to God against you. And because of the strictness of the word of God, which cometh down against you, many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds.

And they were comforted. 11 And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites, thy brethren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls. 12 And it came to pass that the hearts of the sons of Mosiah, and also those who were with them, took courage to go forth unto the Lamanites to declare unto them the word of God
• “During the time Elder Smith was in England, very few of the people there accepted the message of the restored gospel. In his two years of service, “he did not make one convert, did not have opportunity to perform one baptism, although he did confirm one convert.”  Unable to see many results of his labors, he found comfort in knowing that he was doing the Lord’s will and that he was helping prepare people who might receive the gospel later in their lives. For about two weeks of his mission, Elder Smith was confined in a hospital with four other missionaries. The five elders had been exposed to smallpox, so they were quarantined to prevent the illness from spreading. Although Elder Smith referred to their stay as an “imprisonment,” he and his companions made the best of it. They even shared the gospel with the hospital staff. At the end of the confinement, Elder Smith wrote the following report in his journal: “We have made friends with the nurses and others who visited us during our imprisonment. Many times we have had talks with them about the gospel; also left with them books to read. When we left the hospital we sang a hymn or two, which among other things impressed those who listened, for we left them with tears in their eyes. I think we have made an impression at the hospital for good, especially with the nurses, who confess that we are not the people they thought we were and [that] they will now defend us at all times.”  Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, (2013), 262–72
