Your Character is the Teacher

Image
No written word
nor spoken plea 
Can teach our youth
what they should be.

Nor all the books
on all the shelves
It's what the teachers
are themselves

Beatitudes: Spiritual Character

Image
"...Declarations of blessedness in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5: 3-11, cf. Luke 6: 20-22). They describe certain elements that go to form the refined and spiritual character, and all of which will be present whenever that character exists in its perfection. Rather than being isolated statements, the Beatitudes are interrelated and progressive in their arrangement. A more comprehensive and accurate listing is found in 3 Ne. 12 and JST Matt. 5, where a greater spiritual emphasis is given."
