- “I believe that should is one of the most damaging words in our language. Every time we use should, we are, in effect, saying “wrong.” Either we are wrong or we were wrong or we are going to be wrong. I don’t think we need more wrongs in our life. We need to have more freedom of choice. I would like to take the word should and remove it from the vocabulary forever. I’d replace it with the word could. Could gives us choice, and we are never wrong.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 15
- “May I provide a simple formula by which you can measure the choices which confront you. It’s easy to remember, more difficult to apply. You can’t be right by doing wrong, and you can’t be wrong by doing right. Your personal conscience always warns you as a friend before it punishes you as a judge.” (Thomas S. Monson, Church News, 12 Nov. 2005, 3)
