"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle
Elder Robert D. Hales said in October 2006 General Conference:
"We must remember that we have control over who we are no matter how difficult the world becomes."
Elder Henry B. Eyring said...
"The students will learn from example how to keep on a steady upward course in times of great change. They will see leaders and teachers and staff members for whom the Savior and His Kingdom are at the center of their lives. From that example I make a prophecy. Now, listen carefully.
From that example, they - you - will become life-long teachers in their families, in the Church, and in their work, and they will bless others wherever they go by what they have learned about innovating with scarce resources and treating all they have as if it were the Lord's.
Those graduates of BYU-Idaho will become - and this is a prophecy I am prepared to make and make solemnly - those graduates of BYU-Idaho will become legendary for their capacity to build the people around them and to add value wherever they serve."
