“Your beauty–your ‘shine’–does not lie in makeup, gooey cream, or the latest clothing or hairstyles. It lies in your personal purity.” (Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women General President, “Now Is the Time to Arise and Shine!” General Conference, April 2012)
“‘Deep beauty’–the kind of beauty that shines from the inside out…is the kind of beauty that cannot be painted on, surgically created, or purchased. It is the kind of beauty that doesn’t wash off. It is spiritual attractiveness. Deep beauty springs from virtue. It is the beauty of being chaste and morally clean. It is the kind of beauty that you see in the eyes of virtuous women like your mother and grandmother. It is a beauty that is earned through faith, repentance, and honoring covenants.” (Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women General President, “Remember Who You Are!”, General Conference, April 2010)
“There is no more beautiful sight than a young woman who glows with the light of the Spirit, who is confident and courageous because she is virtuous.” (Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women General President, “Remember Who You Are!”, General Conference, April 2010)
