Phineas Taylor Barnum
Each of us is a part of a great family - the human family, sons and daughters of God, and therefore brothers and sisters. We must work harder to build mutual respect, an attitude of tolerance with forbearance one for anoter regardless of the doctrines and philosophies we may espouse individually. Concerning these, you and I may disagree, but we can do so with respect and civility.
Gordon B. Hinckley

There can be no high civility without a deep morality

Henry Wheeler Shaw
