"Being provident providers, we must keep the most basic commandment, "That shalt not covet" (Exodus 20:17). Our world is fraught with feelings of entitlement...If our family does not have everything the neighbors have,...we go into debt to buy things we cannot afford - and things we do not really need. Whenever we do this, we become poor temporally and spiritually."

The Door of True Happiness
"The gospel of Jesus Christ has the answers to all of our problems. The gospel is not a ecret. It is not complicated or hidden. It can unlock the door to true happiness. It is not someone's theory or porposition. It does not come from man at all. It springs from the pure and everlasting waters of the Creator of the universe, who knows truths we cannot even begin to comprehend. And with tha t knowledge, He has given us the gospel - a divine gift, the ultimate formula for happiness and success."
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Way of the Disciple," Ensign, May 2009, 75
