"Virtue 'is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards' (Preach My Gospel, 118). It encompasses chastity and moral purity. Virtue begins in the heart and in the mind. … It is the accumulation of thousands of small decisions and actions. … Virtuous women and men possess a quiet dignity and inner strength. They are confident because they are worthy to receive and be guided by the Holy Ghost."

Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women general president, "A Return to Virtue," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 78–80.
