"You wonderful sisters render compassionate service to others for reasons that supersede desires for personal benefits. In this you emulate the Savior, who, though a king, did not seek position, nor was He concerned about whether others noticed Him. He did not bother to compete with others. His thoughts were always tuned to help others. He taught, healed, conversed [with], and listened to others. He knew that greatness had little to do with outward signs of prosperity or position. He taught and lived by this doctrine: ‘He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.’”
(president uchtdorf, daughters in my kingdom, chapter 7)
“There can be no force in this program as I see it. It is a matter of encouragement and love. It is amazing how many people we can convert with love and inspire with love. We are ‘to warn, expound, exhort, and teach, and invite … to come unto Christ’ (D&C 20:59), as the Lord said in his revelations. … “Don’t let us be satisfied with just visits, with making friends; that, of course, has its place. … Friendship, of course, is important, but how better can you make a friend than to teach somebody everlasting principles of life and salvation?" (President Kimball daughters in my kingdom chapter 7)
