President Monson said this in front of university students, "During the last half century, there has been in this country a gradual but continual retreat from standards of excellence in many phases of our life. We observe business without morality; science without conscience; politics without principle; wealth without works." He counseled, "Refuse to compromise with expedience. Maintain the courage to defy the consensus. Choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. By so doing, you will not detour, but rather will ever remain on the way to perfection."
I feel that this is such an amazing quote especially in the light of what is happening with the BYU basketball team this week. BYU has shown the country that our standards are more important than a ranking, that how we live our lives is more important than a possible national championship. We want to live a higher standard that will show our obedience to our Father in Heaven. We are all son's and daughter's of our Heavenly Father and we love Him and He loves us.... BYU this week chose the harder right!
