"Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike."

Because the eternal principle of agency gives us the freedom to choose and think for ourselves, we should become increasingly able to solve problems. We may make the occasional mistake, but as long as we are following gospel principles and guidelines, we can learn from those mistakes and become more understanding of others and more effective in serving them.

— M. Russell Ballard
