We seek consensus about the Book of Mormon. Joseph F. Smith wrote, "If you have built for a man a better house than his own, and he is willing to accept yours and forsake his, then, and not till then, should you proceed to tear down the old structure. Rotten though it may be it will require some time for it to lose all its charms and fond memories of its former occupant. Therefore let him, not you, proceed to tear it away. Kindness and courtesy are the primal elements of gentility."

The decisive element
“I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous…if we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be we help them BECOME what they are capable of BECOMING”

• If you're confused, ask questions.
• If you're stuck, seek for help.

Ignorance of the educated
“In a democracy, we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with college degrees.”

avoid crowds going in the wrong direction
More advice for everyone interested in the Book of Mormon (and other topics).
It is a lot better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.
Never regret a day in your life; good days give happiness, bad days give experiences, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories.
If you cannot be corrected without being offended, then you’ll never truly grow in life.
