Obedience 

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of stumbling block, it becomes a building block" 

James E. Faust 

James E. Faust is trying to say is that becoming obedient is not an irritation it is a building. You are building yourself when a person is obedient are you are trying to become one it is part of a goal it is not as hard and irritating. But when you are accomplishing other goals it is much irritating. Because you might not be able to do it in the beginning which it is irritating. But when you are working in obedience it shouldn't be as hard because it should come as a instinct.

"Obedience is the great test of life" 

Thomas S. Monson 

When i read his quote i think of the many test we take. The test either take place in our home, school, or in life itself. But don't they all depend on your behavior. If you are obedient and well behave you will do good. This also applies to you test in school because it depends on how obedient you are when you study.  In life the test might be different but it still goes back on your behavior the less obedient you are the strong the test will be.

"Obedience is a central to becoming , being, and remaining happy." 

David Bednar 

When i read his quote i believe his saying being obedient will help and make you better than what you are. If you are obedient you will remain happy, because when your not obedient things tend to get bad for the person. And because there is no punishment nothing bad coming to you then that will mean that you will become and be more happy.

“Obedience sums up our entire duty”

Hosea Ballou

When i read this quote i think of what he is trying to say when he speaks of duty. And the word obedience is also in the sentence. Which is why when i read his quote i think of a leader. Doesn't a leader mean both of the words being use. Every leader has a duty and even though they lead they still have to follow obedience because they have to lead they need to show their obedience no matter what as well. This also leads to them receiving respect.
