D&C 20:37

37. And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism--All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.

Joseph Fielding Smith (Oct 1966 Conference)

The Lord has taught that there is a stronger witness than seeing a personage, even of seeing the Son of God in a vision. Impressions on the soul that come from the Holy Ghost are far more significant than a vision. When spirit speaks to spirit, the imprint upon the soul is far more difficult to erase. Every member of the church should have impressions that Jesus is the Son of God indelibly pictured on his soul through the witness of the Holy Ghost.

Boyd K. Packer (date unknown)

I decided years ago that I was going to trust everybody. I had become suspicious of everybody because I had been misused and abused. I got so I didn't like myself very much and decided that I would trust everybody. If they weren't worthy of that trust they would have to prove it to me. I have been a lot happier since then.

Ammon Peterson (October 21, 2007 Sacrament)

I know that if we follow it (the gospel) we'll have happy lives, and if we share it we'll have happier lives.

Alma 26:11-12

11. But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God.
12. Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.
