"Our spirit and our body are combined in such a way that out body becomes an instrument of our mind and the foundation of our character." - President Boyd K. Packer
Responding to previous quote: "Thus, our relationships with other people, our capacity to recognize and act in accordance with truth, and our ability to obey the principles and ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ are amplified through our physical bodies. In the classroom of mortality, we experience tenderness, love, kindness, happiness, sorrow, diappointment, pain, and even the challenges of physical limitations in ways that prepare us for eternity. Simply stated, there are lessons we must learn and experiences we must have, as the scriptures describe, 'according to the flesh' (1 Ne. 19:6; Alma 7:12-13)." - Elder David A. Bednar
"A truth that really is and always will be is that the body and the spirit constitute our reality and identity." - Elder David A. Bednar
Sometimes the choices I allow myself to make place my body and my spirit in opposition. That should never be the case. The body should be a willing, equal partner with the spirit in demonstrating the true personality and loyalty of man.
