A Quote by Thomas S. Monson

Cooperativeness is not so much learning how to get along with others as taking the kinks out of ourselves, so that others can get along with us. — © Thomas S. Monson

And by the way, we'll get along better with these countries in the end than we get along with them now. We have, as in the case of China and so many others, they don't even like us and yet they are eating our lunch in trade.
It is worth the while to live respectably unto ourselves.

We have many years to eat and sleep, but how many years do we have to make a difference in the lives of others?

We have to keep learning, growing, developing as leaders and taking responsibility for being the change we want to see in the world.

Those whose primary concern is to destroy others are at the lowest level of development. Those who are only interested in their own satisfaction are farther along.
