Quote by Joseph Smith Jr.

Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin as to take them by the hand and to watch over them in tenderness. When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what pow'r it has over my mind.

Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin

Summary

This quote emphasizes the transformative power of love, kindness, and compassion in encouraging individuals to abandon sinful behavior.

Acts of kindness and love not only influence one's behavior but also have the ability to profoundly affect their emotional and mental state, inspiring personal growth and change.
