It is possible to be honest every day. It is possible to live so that others can trust us-can trust our words, our motives, and our actions. Our examples are vital to those who sit at our feet as well as those who watch from a distance.

Our attitude, our point of view, can make a tremendous difference.

— Gordon Hinckley
