Freedom is not only a gift, but a summons to personal responsibility.

Embrace the hell out of personal responsibility.

I take personal responsibility for everything I say.

I fail to understand why gethes (Humans), talk about individuals versus society. They are the same thing. The action of every individual counts, and those individual acts of personal responsibility accumulate to create society. Snowflakes are equally blind to their role in causing avalanches.

This isn't just 'the way things are.' This is the way you made them. This is the result of your choices, your actions. Yours.

As a General Authority, it is my responsibility to preach general principles. When I do, I don't try to define all the exceptions... I only teach the general rules. Whether an exception applies to you is your responsibility. You must work out individually between you and the Lord.

God is no longer part of the story. Children, you're on your own.

Never be prompt to criticize. Never speak before you reflect and never, ever be afraid to struggle for whatever you want in life.

It’s your life to live. Own it! You have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.

Take ownership of your life decisions rather than relinquishing that responsibility to others.
