MONSON_medium“Lamented President Gordon B. Hinckley: ‘Why is it that the [ones] we love [most] become so frequently the targets of our harsh words? Why is it that [we] sometimes speak as if with daggers that cut to the quick?’ The answers to these questions may be different for each of us, and yet the bottom line is that the reasons do not matter. If we keep the commandments to love one another, we must treat each other with kindness and respect.”

Marry the right person in the right place at the right time.”
