Gordon B. Hinckley
"I conclude by assuring you that even with all I see, I am an optimist...Believe in others. Don't go around tearing people down. The Lord doesn't want that. He doesn't want us to spend our time destroying others. He expects us to build and sustain and cultivate and nurture and strengthen our associates. Wonderful things happen when you go forth with that kind of attitude."

“Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself… Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us.” (Marvin J. Ashton, “The Tongue is a Sharp Sword,” Ensign, May 1992, p. 19.)

"If you set out to be less than what you are capable of being, I warn you, you will be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life."

The Power Of Attitude
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results."
