Take Responsibility

“The responsibility for each person’s social, emotional, spiritual, physical, or economic well-being rests first upon himself, second upon his family, and third upon the Church if he is a faithful member thereof.

“No true Latter-day Saint, while physically or emotionally able, will voluntarily shift the burden of his own or his family’s well-being to someone else.”

Thomas S. Monson, "Guiding Principles of Personal and Family Welfare", Ensign, Sept. 1986, 3 (President Monson quoting President Kimball)
