Some favorite thoughts
"When you meet someone, treat them as if they were in serious trouble, and you will be right more than half the time." - quoted by President Eyring
"You never know. You never know whether you do any good. You never know how much good you do...You are doing the best you can, and that best results in good to yourself and others." - Gordon B. Hinckley
"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” – George Eliot

ReplyDeleteMostly, I just wanted to mark the idea in my memory because I think it's such a great principle - very applicable to missionary work, media/public relations, and personal interactions. It's closely related to the principle behind Pahoran's response to Moroni - he was able to see past all the insults and threats and respond to the emotion behind Moroni's attack, thus unifying rather than taking offense. Golden.
