1. “Virtue ‘is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards’ [Preach My Gospel: A Guide to Missionary Service (2004), 118]. It encompasses chastity and moral purity. Virtue begins in the heart and in the mind. It is nurtured in the home. It is the accumulation of thousands of small decisions and actions. Elaine S. Dalton “A Return to Virtue,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2008, 79 1 of 8 1 of 2 ©Busath.com

2. Virtue is a word we don’t hear often in today’s society, but the Latin root word virtus means strength. Virtuous women and men possess a quiet dignity and inner strength.” Elaine S. Dalton “A Return to Virtue,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2008, 79 2 of 2 ©Busath.com
