“So much energy is wasted in feelings of hatred and revenge,
but when we can seek to set things right cheerfully,
‘we stand still, with the utmost assurance,
to see the salvation of God,
and for his arm to be revealed’ (D&C 123:17).
When we harbor mean-spirited feelings of retribution, we are on the devil's turf; but when we seek redress cheerfully, the Lord is on our side.”
- Spencer J. Condie, “In Perfect Balance,” p. 168
I think the first virtue is to
restrain the tongue;
he approaches
nearest to gods who knows how to be
silent in anger,
even though he is in the
right.
- Cato the Elder (234BC - 149BC)
