Treat everyone with politeness,
even those who are rude to you
- not because they are nice, but because you are.

Kindness begins with Me

It is a good coat for our Utah Manners Month:

Young women, you are changing the world by centering your life on Jesus Christ, and you are “becoming what He wants you to be” (see “Guardians of Virtue, Strength of Youth Media 2011: We Believe”).Thank you for your benevolent lives: for including those who may be different; for your kindness to your peers, the elderly, your family, and little children; for being neighbors to those who are lonely and those who have challenges and heartache. Through your benevolence, you are “pointing others to the Savior’s life” (see “Guardians of Virtue”). Thank you for remembering “kindness begins with me.”
