G.C. Droplets October 1984 -The Pattern of Our Parentage

If you really want to know what a man is, and what he believes, do not go to his enemies. Go to the man himself or to his friends. He does not confide the thoughts of his heart to his enemies. His friends know him best; they know his strengths and his weaknesses. They will represent him fairly. His enemies will misrepresent him. -Boyd K. Packer (quoting Able S. Rich)
