“Anger may be justified in some circumstances. The
scriptures tell us Jesus drove moneychangers from the temple, saying, ‘My
house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.’
Even this was spoken more as a rebuke than an outburst of uncontrolled anger. Now,
my dear brethren, I plead with you to control your tempers, put a smile upon
your faces, which will erase anger; speak out with words of love and peace,
appreciation, and respect. If you 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. May the Lord bless you and inspire you to walk without anger,
without bitterness of any kind, but to reach out to others with expressions of
friendship, appreciation, and love.” – President Gordon B. Hinckley
