- President Henry D.

- “How does pride affect our relationship with others? President Benson observed: “Another major portion of this very prevalent sin of pride is enmity toward our fellowmen. We are tempted daily to elevate ourselves above others and diminish them (see ; ). … “Pride … is manifest in so many ways, such as fault-finding, gossiping, backbiting, murmuring, living beyond our means, envying, coveting, withholding gratitude and praise that might lift another, and being unforgiving and jealous. … “Selfishness is one of the more common faces of pride. ‘How everything affects me’ is the center of all that matters—self-conceit, self-pity, worldly self-fulfillment, self-gratification, and self-seeking. … “Another face of pride is contention. Arguments, fights, unrighteous dominion, generation gaps, divorces, spouse abuse, riots, and disturbances all fall into this category of pride” in Conference Report, Apr. 1989, 4–5; or Ensign, May 1989, 4–6.

- “We knew before we were born that we were coming to the earth for bodies and experience, and that we would have joys and sorrows, ease and pain, comfort and hardships, health and sickness, successes and disappointments, and we knew also that after a period of life we would die. We accepted all of these eventualities with a glad heart, eager to accept both the favorable and unfavorable. We eagerly accepted the chance to come earthward even though it might be for only a day or a year. Perhaps we were not so concerned whether we would die of disease, of accident, or of senility. We were willing to take life as it came and as willing to organize and control it, and this was without murmur, complaint, or unreasonable demands.” Spencer W. Kimball, Faith Precedes the Miracle p. 106
