President Nelson said it this way: 
"Obedience brings success; exact obedience brings miracles."^[v]

Our family and mission version is "Obedience brings blessings, but exact obedience brings miracles."
...
I am sure that I do not completely understand what exact obedience means, but here is what I have come to understand. It is not perfect obedience; that is impossible. Hence, repentance must be a key part of exact obedience.

 "Time-out."  I use the referee hand signal to make my point.  "Lil' Ray, hold that thought a minute."  Then I address the rest of them.  "What are the classroom rules?"
A half dozen kids roll their eyes and groan.
"Do we gotta say it?" somebody pipes up.
"Until we start remembering to follow it, yes," I insist.  "Or we can go back to the classroom and diagram sentences.  I'm good either way."  I make the motion of a choir conductor's baton.  "All together now.  What's Article Number Three of our Classroom Constitution?"
An unenthusiastic chorus responds, " We encourage vigorous debate.  Civil debate is a healthy democratic process.  If one cannot make one's point without yelling, name-calling, or insulting others, one should develop a stronger argument before speaking further."
-The Book of Lost Friends, Lisa Wingate

 We all have scars.
It's when you're honest about them that you find the people who will love you in spite of your nicks and dents.  Perhaps even because of them.
The people who don't?  Those aren't the ones for you.
-The Book of Lost Friends, Lisa Wingate, p. 370

 And I think if you're lucky, a sister is the same as a friend, but better.  A sister is like a super-forever-infinity friend."

 The way he said her name made my heart cramp.  In all my years of word collecting, I've learned this to be a tried and true fact: I can very often tell how much a person loves another person by the way they say their name.  I think that's one of the best feelings in the world, when you know your name is safe in another person's mouth.  When you know they'll never shout it out like a cuss word, but say it or whisper it like once-upon-a-time."
-A Snicker of Magic, Natalie Lloyd

 "Talking to you is different than talking to a big room full of people."
...
"Why's it different?"
"Because I know my words are safe with you," I said.
-A Snicker of Magic, Natalie Lloyd

 That day Jonah became more than just a friend who kept my words safe.  I realized he was the kind of friend who didn't mind the silent places.  The quiet fell between us like a comfortable old quilt and we both settled into it.

 Each Sunday, as part of the service, Charles gave what was officially called an "Invitation to the Life of the Congregation."  This was a welcome to all who were in attendance and a listing of the events on deck for the week: gardening club, beach cleanup, Bible study, bake sale.  Charles thought of it as the reminder that we are not alone. A public declaration of places to gather in and interests to share. 
-The Dearly Beloved, Cara Wall, p. 124

 He wouldn't understand that her world was slipping away, like the fields outside this train window.  Soon there would be nothing to go back to.  Mississippi would be a different place.  Better, fairer, healthier for all, but not one she would recognize."

 "Societies fail," his father told the freshman year after year, "when men are rewarded for seeking pleasure instead of responsibility."
