A few great quotes...

“Sometimes with sumdges on our cheeks, dirt on our hands, and shoes untied, stammeringly but smilingly we prsent God with a dandelion - as if it were an orchid or a rose! If for now the dandelion is the best we have to offer, He receives it, knowing what we may later place on the alter.”  Elder Neal A. Maxwell  

“Now is the time to commit yourself to the Lord as to what you will become during this mortal probation.” Elder John B. Dickson  “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you. . . And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:31-32 

Dr. Sidney Simon, a recognized authority on values realization, has provided an excellent definition of forgiveness as it applies to human relationships: 

“Forgiveness is freeing up and putting to better use the energy once consumed by holding grudges, harboring resentments, and nursing unhealed wounds. It is rediscovering the strengths we always had and relocating our limitless capacity to understand and accept other people and ourselves.”
