"...one cannot be cordial to a man whose eyes regard you as a detective looks at a criminal... or rather as one criminal looks at another."
Donn Byrne
I do not presume to teach men how to be men. I point them to learning and growing men whose teachings and lives I consider worthwhile. These are some of the individual men I have had the privilege of experiencing, appreciating, learning from, listening to, and whose words I recommend.

Avoid; Beware; Help; Seek
Avoid the pitfalls, the detours.
Beware of the flashy start and the fading finish.
Help others in the race of life.
Seek and Find the Saviour.
Thomas S Monson

Security
"There is no real security except in the consistent adherance to principle.
We cannot succumb to the pressures of the moment by stepping off the rock of principle."
Elder D Todd Christofferson
Said of D Todd Christofferson:
"He was the recipient of many questions which he fielded with his trademark grace, humour and good judgement.
With uncommon, understated, eloquence and precision he has given inspired counsel on many gospel topics."
