Teach your children to always tell the truth, to tell things as they really are, to build, to find the good in others, and to be positive and complimentary. Truth is more precious than any earthly possession. Truth is the essence of our existence.29 As we tell the truth, our confidence will wax strong in the presence of God and our fellowman. – Lynn A. Mickelsen, “Eternal Laws of Happiness,” Ensign (CR) November 1995
