uplifting quote

"This [year], mend a quarrel.  Seek out a forgotten friend.  Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.  Write a letter.  Give a soft answer.  Encourage youth.   Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.  Keep a promise.   Forgo a grudge.   Forgive an enemy.   Apologize.   Try to understand.  Examine your demands on others.  Think first of someone else.  Be kind.  Be gentle.  Laugh a little more.   Express your gratitude.  Welcome a stranger.   Gladden the heart of a child.   Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.   Speak your love and then speak it again."

the above quote originated from mccall's magazine, december 1959, pp. 82-83.  it was later quoted at least twice by howard w. hunter.
