Come, Listen to a Prophet's Voice

I'm sad to have to have neglected this little space so long.  Although there is not a great likelihood that I will post any original content here anytime soon, I want to continue filing some of the helpful words I stumble across in my study.  Today I loved this from Elder Orson F. Whitney:

“The spirit of the gospel is optimistic; it trusts in God and looks on the bright side of things. The opposite or pessimistic spirit drags men down and away from God, looks on the dark side, murmurs, complains, and is slow to yield obedience.”

Quoted in Elder Holland's (brilliant) address, "The Tongue of Angels," April 2007
