"Provident living requires us to develop proper attitudes—a willingness
to forego luxuries, to avoid excess, and to fully use what we
have—learning to live within our means.
Unrestricted by programs
and projects, bricks and mortar, the Lord’s real storehouse is indeed in
the homes and the hearts of His people. As the members of the Church
follow the counsel to become self-reliant, they represent an immense
pool of resources, knowledge, skills, and charity available to help one
another. This storehouse, the Lord has said, is “for the poor of my
people, … to advance the cause, which ye have espoused, to the salvation
of man, and to the glory of your Father who is in heaven.” (D&C
78:3–4.)"
~Robert D. Hales, “Welfare Principles to Guide Our Lives: An Eternal Plan for the Welfare of Men’s Souls,” Ensign, May 1986, 28
