In the October 2004 General Conference, President Monson suggested a “simple yet far-reaching formula to guide [us] in the choices of life”:
Fill your minds with truth.
Fill your hearts with love.
Fill your lives with service.
The scriptures teach these three basis principles over and over again. We are to seek wisdom out of the best books, [...]

It is on days like today that I take a moment to ponder world events, both past and present. I am saddened by the amount of wickedness, corruption, and evil in the world. It is because of such things that men and women often die much earlier than necessary. Fighting [...]
