Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.

Boyd K. Packer

Latter-day Saints are not obedient because they are compelled to be obedient. They are obedient because they know certain spiritual truths and have decided, as an expression of their own individual agency, to obey the commandments of God. . . .
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Expression Spiritual
Tolerance is a virtue, but, like all virtues, when exaggerated it transforms itself into a vice.
BOYD K. PACKER

Tolerance Vices Virtue
You have that same agency. Use it wisely to deny acting on any impure impulse or unholy temptation that may come into your mind. Just do not go there, and if you are already there, come back out of it. ‘Deny yourselves of all ungodliness’ (Moroni 10:32).
BOYD K. PACKER
