“I am asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy
more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we
accentuate the positive. I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good,
that we still voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment
virtue and effort. What I am suggesting is that each of us turn from the
negativism that so permeates our society and look for the remarkable good among
those with whom we associate, that we speak of one another’s virtues more than
we speak of one another’s faults, that optimism replace pessimism, that our
faith exceed our fears. When I was a young man and was prone to speak critically,
my father would say: ‘Cynics do not contribute, skeptics do not create,
doubters do not achieve.’” - President Gordon B. Hinckley
