Do things in wisdom & order

I thought about not making an entry tonight. One quote is a repeat & the other one bothers me. I took the reference provided for the quote, searched for it & read the address. After I read it in context, it didn't bother me any more, but I found this quote toward the end of it that I really like.
"... we should remember King Benjamin’s caution to “see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength” (Mosiah 4:27). I think of that inspired teaching whenever I feel inadequate, frustrated, or depressed."
The next quote was a repeat from here. Elder Baxter counsels to hold fast to that which is good.

Forgiveness

This is a good quote:
"Forgiveness is freeing up and putting to better use the energy once consumed by holding grudges, harboring resentments, and nursing unhealed wounds. It is rediscovering the strengths we always had and relocating our limitless capacity to understand and accept other people and ourselves."
--James E Faust, "The Healing Power of Forgiveness", May 2007 Ensign
and another
"The truth is that our only safety, our only security, our only hope is to hold fast to that which is good. As the mists of darkness gather around us, we are only lost if we choose to let go of the iron rod, which is the word of God."
--David S. Baxter, "Faith, Service, Constancy", Liahona, November 2006, 13–15
