A better person

Guess this quote isn't here, I can't find a tag for 2002. I've taken to searching for either the author or date of the quote so I won't repeat it.

"If we live by the principles of the gospel, we must be good people, for we will be generous and kind, thoughtful and tolerant, helpful and outreaching to those in distress. We can either subdue the divine nature and hide it so that it finds no expression in our lives, or we can bring it to the front and let it shine through all that we do."

--Gordon B. Hinckley, "Each a Better Person", Ensign, Nov. 2002, 99

This thought reminds me of a book I read recently, Return From Tomorrow by George Ritchie, MD. It is about a near death experience or NDE as they are called. He relates seeing dead people & he was trying to talk to live people. He wanted to find his body.

"In the gospel of Jesus Christ you have help from both sides of the veil and you must never forget that. When disappointment and discouragement strike, and they will, you remember and never forget that if our eyes could be opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can see riding at reckless speed to come to our protection. They will always be there, these armies of heaven, in defense of Abraham's seed."

--Jeffrey R. Holland, "For Times of Trouble," New Era, Oct. 1980, 15
