Love of country should not consume
For then it might override all else
So with the spirit stay in tune
With the twelfth article of faith as your help
Excessive zeal wears away the soul
And focuses on all that is wrong
Prayerfully define what is your role
And work on what makes the country strong
Dallin H. Oaks
Our Strengths Can Become Our Downfall-
All-Consuming Patriotism
Ensign, October 1994, 11
From The Articles of Faith
We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law
