Maxim for Living

I just heard this maxim again on television. It was said in 2003, but bears repeating and repeating again.

From Elder Holland, Apostle in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"No misfortune is so bad that whining about it won't make it worse."

In Ephesians 4:29-32, Paul reminds us of this as well.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
