As we live the principles of the Sermon on the Mount, we build
a rock-solid foundation upon which our lives can safely be constructed.
The Lord, the great Master Architect, has given us perfect plans and
specifications to guide us in the building of our lives. These are the
sacred scriptures. They contain the words of the Lord and should be
frequently read and pondered. - Keith
W. Wilcox, "

By seeking the Lord through prayer and through his holy scriptures, we
learn to look for the beautiful and to develop positive attitudes. We
achieve guidance in the building of our foundations and our lives.
As we live righteous and unselfish lives, the Spirit of the Lord
enters our souls and then radiates from us. We become beautiful, even
as a holy temple is beautiful. And as missionaries we can help others
to become beautiful. “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of
him that bringeth good tidings.” (Isa.
52:7, Mosiah
12:21, 3
Ne. 20:40.) - Keith W. Wilcox, "Look
for the Beautiful," Ensign (CR) May 1985
Not long ago, President Gordon B. Hinckley, in a commencement address
at BYU—Hawaii, admonished graduates to “stop seeking out the storms
and enjoy more fully the sunlight.” (Church News, 3 July 1983, p. 10.)
He pointed out that we can be negative and look for the ugly in life
and the faults and failings of those around us, or we can develop
positive attitudes and see the beautiful in life and the good, the
strong, the decent, and the virtuous in people, which brings joy and
happiness. It is a matter of attitude. -
