"men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."

" Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, — in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity,—in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption,—in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."

Edmund Burke, A Letter to a Member of the National Assembly (Revolution and Romanticism, 1789-1834)

When a man shuns effort, he is in no position to resist temptation

"When a man shuns effort, he is in no position to resist temptation. So, through all the ages, idleness has been known as the parent of all the vices."

(David Starr Jordan, The Strength of Being Clean [New York and Boston: H.M. Caldwell Co., 1900], pp. 18–19.), as quoted in "The Nobility of Man in Choosing Good over Evil" by Elder Alvin R. Dyer, Assistant to the Council of the Twelve, General Conference, October 1971, https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1971/10/the-nobility-of-man-in-choosing-good-over-evil?lang=eng 

Our dear departed ones know our thoughts and feelings

 "Our deceased family and friends are not gone, neither are they far, far away in some distant heaven. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught, “They are not far from us, and know and understand our thoughts, feelings, and motions, and are often pained therewith.” [11] Brigham Young taught that the spirit world is right here on this earth, [12] and Parley P. Pratt gave an extensive explanation for how and why that is the case. [13] Joseph F. Smith said: “I believe we move and have our being in the presence of heavenly messengers and of heavenly beings. We are not separate from them. . . . We are closely related to our kindred, to our ancestors, to our friends and associates and co-laborers who have preceded us into the spirit world.” [14] "
