President Henry B. Eyring:
“When you meet
someone, treat them as if they were in serious trouble, and you will be right
more than half the time” (“In the Strength of the Lord,” Ensign or Liahona, May
2004, 16).
President Thomas S. Monson:
“Few accounts of the Master’s ministry touch me more than
His example of compassion shown to the grieving widow at Nain. …“What power,
what tenderness, what compassion did our Master thus demonstrate! We, too, can
bless if we will but follow His noble example. Opportunities are everywhere.
Needed are eyes to see the pitiable plight and ears to hear the silent
pleadings of a broken heart. Yes, and a soul filled with compassion, that we
might communicate not only eye to eye or voice to ear but, in the majestic
style of the Savior, even heart to heart” (“Meeting Life’s Challenges,” Ensign,
Nov. 1993, 71).
