The greatest, most capable, most accomplished man who ever walked this earth was also the most humble. He performed some of His most impressive service in private moments, with only a few observers, whom He asked to “tell no man” what He had done [see Luke 8:56 ]. When someone called Him “good,” He quickly deflected the compliment, insisting that only God is truly good [see Mark 10:17–18 ]. Clearly the praise of the world meant nothing to Him; His single purpose was to serve His Father and “do always those things that please him” [ John 8:29 ]. We would do well to follow the example of our Master.
(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “On Being Genuine,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2015, 83)

Official Portrait of President Dallin H. Oaks taken March 2018.
The prophet Moroni taught that if our works are to be credited for good, they must be done for the right reasons. If a man “offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real intent it profiteth him nothing.
“For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.” ( Moro. 7:6–7 .) …
… Our service should be for the love of God and the love of fellowmen rather than for personal advantage or any other lesser motive.
(Dallin H. Oaks, “Why Do We Serve?” Ensign, Nov. 1984, 12, 14)

Our motives and thoughts ultimately influence our actions. The testimony of the truthfulness of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is the most powerful motivating force in our lives. Jesus repeatedly emphasized the power of good thoughts and proper motives: “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not” ( D&C 6:36).
… Our testimony motivates us to live righteously, and righteous living will cause our testimony to grow stronger. …
… A testimony motivates us to choose the right at all times and in all circumstances. It motivates us to draw nearer to God, allowing Him to draw nearer to us (see James 4:8).
(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Power of a Personal Testimony,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2006, 37, 39)
