“We are all prone to brood on the evil done us. That brooding becomes as a gnawing and destructive canker. Is there a virtue more in need of application in our time than the virtue of forgiving and forgetting? There are those who would look upon this as a sign of weakness. Is it? I submit that it takes neither strength nor intelligence to brood in anger over wrongs suffered, to go through life with a spirit of vindictiveness, to dissipate one’s abilities in planning retribution. There is no peace in the nursing of a grudge. There is no happiness in living for the day when you can ‘get even.”
― Gordon B. Hinckley

“I can no longer remember the books I have read than the meals I have eaten, but they have made me.”
― Gordon B. Hinckley

“I can still kick your pony-lovin' butt with twice this much pain."
