Quotes by M. Russell Ballard (?)

“It may not always be easy, convenient or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always. ”

“There are conversations going on about the Church constantly. Those conversations will continue whether or not we choose to participate in them. But we cannot stand on the sidelines while others, including our critics, attempt to define what our Church teaches... We are living in a world saturated with all kinds of voices. Perhaps now, more than ever, we have a major responsibility as Latter-day Saints to define ourselves, instead of letting others define us.”
