"The Transforming Power of Faith and Character" by Elder Richard G. Scott

Some of my favorite exerts from this General Conference talk:

"We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day."

"Strong moral character results from consistent correct choices in the trials and testing of life."

"...God will respond with what in His eternal plan is best for you, when it will yield the greatest advantage."

"It is nobility of character, that fabric of inner strength and conviction woven from countless righteous decisions, that gives life its direction." A consistent, righteous life produces an inner power and strength that can be permanently resistant to the eroding influence of sin and transgression."

"You cannot be passive in life, or in time the natural man will undermine your efforts to live worthily."

"But a testimony is not emotion. It is the very essence of character woven from threads born of countless correct decisions."
