"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we
experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development
of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that
we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it
patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our
souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called
the children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil
and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire
and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven."
—Orson F. Whitney, quoted by Spencer W. Kimball in Faith Precedes the Miracle, p. 98.
