“The statement by the Prophet Joseph Smith about teaching correct principles is perhaps one of his most frequently quoted teachings. And we find powerful examples of this inspired pattern of instruction in the pronouncements of the Lord’s authorized servants today.”

— Elder Bednar

Joseph Smith once said “I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.” This is still one of the most frequently quoted teachings. The reason it is quoted so many times is because it is extremely important to teach others what is correct. Then, they will govern themselves. This is what the apostles and prophets of Christ’s restored church do.
