“The story is told that reporters were interviewing a man on
his birthday. He had reached an advanced age. They asked him how he had done
it. He replied, ‘When my wife and I were married we determined that if we ever
got in a quarrel one of us would leave the house. I attribute my longevity to
the fact that I have breathed good fresh air throughout my married life.’ I
plead with you to control your tempers, to put a smile upon your faces, which
will erase anger; speak out with words of love and peace, appreciation, and
respect. If you will do this, your lives will be without regret. Your marriages
and family relationships will be preserved. You will be much happier. You will
do greater good. You will feel a sense of peace that will be wonderful.” –
President Gordon B. Hinckley
