"The Lord works from the inside out.  The world works from the outside in.  The world would take people out of the slums.  Christ takes the slums out of the people, and then they take themselves out of the slums.  The world would mold men by changing their environment.  Christ changes men, who then change their environment.  The world would shape behavior, but Christ can change human nature."

 -Ezra Taft Benson, "Born of God," Ensign, Oct. 1985, 6. 

 "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."

        -Victor Frankl

"Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions.  The desires we act on determine our changing, our achieving, and our becoming."
