Virtue
“[I]am a faithful FRIEND TO VIRTUE and a fearless FOE TO VICE.”
Joseph Smith -
"
Virtue is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral
standards. 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."
- Elaine Dalton, General YW President

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies (
Proverbs 31:10).
I will prepare to enter the temple and remain pure and worthy.
My thoughts and actions will be based on high moral standards.
Read this article from the Church News
"You
will need [courage] to be chaste and virtuous. You live in a world
where moral values have, in great measure, been tossed aside, where sin
is flagrantly on display, and where temptations to stray from the
strait and narrow path surround you. Many are the voices telling you
that you are far too provincial or that there is something wrong with
you if you still believe there is such a thing as immoral
behavior."Isaiah declared, 'Woe unto them that call evil good, and good
evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness' (Isaiah
5:20)."Great courage will be required as you remain chaste and virtuous
amid the accepted thinking of the times."
