Former Young Women general president Margaret D. Nadauld taught: “The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.”  <sup>https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/10/the-moral-force-of-women?lang=eng


Last night  I read Elder D. Todd Christofferson's talk from General Conference, Oct 2013, entitled "The Moral Force of Women".  What a wonderful talk.  There were several points that I could have quoted, but I have heard this one from Sis.. Nadault before and I really like it.  Here's a comparison for you:

tough               tender
coarse              kind
rude                 refined
fame                faith
greed               goodness
vanity              virtue
popularity       purity

I don't know about you, but I would much rather people see me as tender, kind, refined, faithful, good, virtuous and pure.  I believe we can be all of these things and still stand strong against the evils of our day.  By so doing we will teach not only our own children, but many people the value of a virtuous woman.</sup>
