“We may get angry with parents, or a teacher, or the Bishop, and dwarf ourselves into nameless anonymity as we shrivel and shrink under the venom and poison of bitterness, little realizing the suffering of the hater, the latter cheats himself… . To terminate activity in the Church just to spite leaders or to give vent to wounded feelings is to cheat ourselves.” (Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 242-243)
