I'm trying to find that quote by Spencer W. Kimball that says something to the effect of: "Do not say unkind things about others, even in jest."
I'm pretty sure it's by Spencer W. Kimball, but I have been known to radically misattribute from time to time.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

You could ask the BYU 100 Hour Board. They answer all kinds of questions like this, but it takes 100 hours.

quote:How you speak says much about who you are. Clean and intelligent language is evidence of a bright and wholesome mind. Use language that uplifts, encourages, and compliments others. Do not insult others or put them down, even in joking. Speak kindly and positively about others so you can fulfill the Lord’s commandment to love one another. When you use good language, you invite the Spirit to be with you.
It's from For the Strength of Youth. I could swear there was something similar said by a prophet though.
