Transcript

Many years ago I read the following Associated Press dispatch which appeared in the newspaper: An elderly man disclosed, at the funeral of his brother, with whom he had shared, from early manhood, a small, one-room cabin near Canisteo, New York, that following a quarrel, the two brothers had divided the room in half with a chalk line, and neither had crossed the line or spoken a word to the other since that day--62 years before.

Just think of the consequence of that anger. What a tragedy! May we make a conscious decision, each time such a decision must be made, to refrain from anger and to leave unsaid the harsh and hurtful things we may be tempted to say.

Refrain from Anger

Description
President Thomas S. Monson recounts the tragedy of brothers who held a grudge against each other for 62 years.
