"When a battered, weary swimmer tries valiantly to get back to shore, after having fought strong winds and rough waves which he should never have challenged in the first place, those of us who might have had better judgment, or perhaps just better luck, ought not to row out to his side, beat him with our oars, and shove his head back underwater. That's not what boats were made for. But some of us do that to each other". -Jeffery R. Holland

Shiloh,
Thanks for sharing a JRH quote with a reference to a talk that can actually be found. :) (Dang that John Bytheway and his unreferenced quotations by JRH that people keep sharing on facebook!)
