"You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others." --Gordon B. Hinckley
I posted this as my Facebook status. It got nine "likes", two of which were from non-mormons. One of my "mormon-bashing" friends commented on it. "He is one of the most holy men I have ever heard talk... so much respect for him." And one of my anti-mormon friends "liked" his comment. And another non-mormon friend commented "I love this guy, I bought a book that's full of his quotes, and seriously, it doesn't matter what one's religious background is, Gordon B. Hinckley's words are words to live by. I too, have a ton of respect for him." It just goes to show you that, even if you are big into a religion, or other opinion that others won't necessarily agree with, they can still respect you as long as you are a good person. Don't bash on what other people believe, just do good.
