There is something real in this frequent recurrence to fundamental
principles, just as real are they as when we partake of the holy
Sacrament, the symbols of our salvation; the broken bread and the
water representing the broken body and the shed blood of our Lord. By
partaking of these symbols in remembrance of him, though they are
material things, this bread and this water, although they are but
words that make up that most splendid prayer of consecration, yet they
evoke in the soul a spiritual power that is as palpably food to the
spirit of man as is the material food that he partakes of to
strengthen his body from day to day. - Brigham
H. Roberts, "Conference Report," October 1926, Afternoon Session,
p.124

Do not underestimate
the important symbolic and actual effect of appearance. Persons who
are well groomed and modestly dressed invite the companionship of
the Spirit of our Father in Heaven and are able to exercise a
wholesome influence upon those around them. Persons who are unkempt
and careless about their appearance, or adopt the visual symbols of
those who often oppose our ideals, expose themselves and persons
around them to influences that are degrading and dissonant. Outward
appearance is often a reflection of inward tendencies. - Harold
B. Lee, "The Teachings of Harold B. Lee," edited by Clyde J.
Williams, p.220
