"The virtues
expressed in 'More Holiness Give Me' fall into several groups. Some are
personal goals, like more holiness give me; more strivings within; more
faith, gratitude, and purity; more fit for the kingdom; more purpose in
prayer; and more trust in the Lord. Others center on adversity. They
include patience in suffering, meekness in trial, praise for relief,
strength to overcome, freedom from earth stains, and longing for home.
The rest firmly anchor us to our Savior: more sense of His care; more
pride in His glory; more hope in His word; more joy in His service; more
tears for His sorrows; more pain at His grief; more blessed and holy;
and more, Savior, like Thee. More of these virtues is better. Less is
not desirable." - David Burton, "More
Holiness Give Me," Ensign (CR), November 2004, p.98

There
is nothing in all this world as magnificent as virtue. It glows
without tarnish. It is precious and beautiful. It is above price. It
cannot be bought or sold. It is the fruit of self-mastery. - Gordon
B. Hinckley, "How
Can I Become the Woman of Whom I Dream?" Ensign (CR), May
2001, p. 93

And that is the touch-stone of virtue with the Christian today. Does
he walk by faith? Is he willing to accept the words of the witnesses
of the Christ and the words of the Master, and not desire to handle
and see for himself as did Thomas? For I want to tell you that when
a man has to do a thing, there is no virtue in it. But when he
chooses to, when he exercises faith and confidence, then there is
virtue and righteousness in it. - Joseph
