"Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence." — Doctrine and Covenants 4:6

"Kindness is the essence of a celestial life. Kindness is how a Christlike person treats others. Kindness should permeate all of our words and actions at work, at school, at church and especially in our homes," Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin said in the April 2005 general conference address.

"The things you say, the tone of your voice, the anger or calm of your words — these things are noticed by your children and by others. They see and learn both the kind and the unkind things we say or do. Nothing exposes our true selves more than how we treat one another in the home."
