Standing for Something by Gordon B. Hinckley

8/10

This is a good book with lots of practical advice, which is to be expected. It talks about 10 neglected virtues that, if applied, will change our lives for the better. I won't talk too much about the book but just mention this: President Hinckley has the unique ability to inspire, motivate, and instruct in a manner that doesn't come off as preachy. That is actually a pretty impressive skill.

To the quotes!:

"In our day, those found in dishonesty aren't put to death, but something within them dies. Conscience chokes, character withers, self-respect vanishes, integrity dies. How cheaply some men and women sell their good names!"

"It is surely neither coincidence nor happenstance that five of the Ten Commandments deal essentially with honesty in its broadest sense."

"Selfishness is the cause of most of our misery."

"Theology may be argued over, but personal testimony coupled with performance cannot be refuted."
