Dean L. Larsen Quotes

It is not enough for us to know what is right and to believe it is good. We must be willing to stand up and be counted. When we have the courage and faith to live up to the best we know, we fulfill the purpose for which we came to this earth, and we provide an incentive for others to do the same.
