For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.
3 Nephi 11:29
I mean to start this day in peace,
and so I pray a boon
that spirits of contention
will stay farther than the moon.
I want no truck with predications
that inflame the mind;
give to me, I pray it, Lord,
forbearance for mankind.
Give me the will to love and laugh,
not rant at what I hear --
so devils will grow bored with me
and angels draw me near.
