"Be one who nurtures and who builds. Be one who has an
understanding and a forgiving heart, who looks for the best in people. Leave
people better than you found them. Be fair with your competitors, whether in
business, athletics, or elsewhere. Don’t get drawn into some of the parlance of
our day and try to ‘win’ by intimidation or by undermining someone’s character.
Lend a hand to those who are frightened, lonely, or burdened. If we could look
into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces,
I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience,
tolerance, and care. If the adversary can influence us to pick on each other,
to find fault, bash, and undermine, to judge or humiliate or taunt, half his
battle is won. The Spirit of the Lord cannot dwell where there is bickering,
judging, contention, or any kind of bashing.” – Marvin J. Ashton
