A Brief Tribute

Today I wish to pay tribute to a few people whose exemplary lives and individual desires to do God's will have inspired me to become better. 

Elder Anderson:

"The more I learn about the wisdom of God, the more I believe I am only at the beginning end of wisdom. It humbles me as I realize how much I have to learn. Today, I hope to increase our desire to acquire wisdom and specifically the wisdom of God."  (From the recent Ensign article, Reverence for God is the beginning of Wisdom)

Nephi:
 
"For the fulness of mine intent is that I may ^apersuade men to ^bcome unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved.

Wherefore, the things which are ^apleasing unto the world I do not write, but the things which are pleasing unto God and unto those who are not of the world." (1 Ne. 6:4-5)

Moroni:

"Behold, I am Moroni, your chief captain. I ^aseek not for power, but to pull it down. I ^bseek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country. And thus I close mine epistle." (Alma 60:36)

Jesus Christ:

"Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do ^anothing of myself; but as my ^bFather hath ^ctaught me, I ^dspeak these things.

And he that ^asent me is with me: the Father hath not left me ^balone; for I ^cdo always those things that ^dplease him." (John 8:28-29)
