God does not begin by asking our ability, only our availability, and if we prove our dependability, He will increase our capability.Neal A. Maxwell
Men's and nations' finest hour consist of those moments when extraordinary challenge is met by extraordinary response. Hence in those darkest hours, we must light our individual candles rather than vying with others to call attention to the enveloping darkness. Our indignation about injustice should lead to illumination, for if it does not, we are only adding to the despairand the moment of gravest danger is when there is so little light that darkness seems normal.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is possible to know when, at least basically, we please God. In fact, Joseph Smith taught that one of the conditions of genuine faith is to have 'an actual knowledge that the course of life which one is pursuing is according to Gods will.'

Even so, we are told to strive to become like them.
