Sunday Inspiration: Good and Evil
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.
—Martin Luther King Jr.
Sunday Inspiration: Gratitude
Absence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency… Where there is appreciation, there is courtesy, there is concern for the rights and property of others. Without appreciation there is arrogance and evil.
—Gordon B. Hinckley

—Saint Augustine
Sunday Inspiration: Every Painful Event

—Louis Pasteur
