Action Derives Quality From Motive—Every action derives its quality from the motive which prompts it, and if the motives are not high and pure and unselfish, the mind and character will never become well balanced.—The Youth’s Instructor, April 7, 1898. (Sons and Daughters of God, 171.) {1MCP 347.2}

Handlingen kommer af motivet. - Enhver handling kommer af det motiv, som ansporer handlingen, og hvis motivet ikke er højt, rent og uselvisk, vil sind og karakter ikke blive velafbalanceret. - YI, 7. april, 1898. (SD 171.)
