Ether 12:26
“At no time should we do anything that can be avoided which would chagrin, inconvenience or pain our fellowmen, and no word or sentence should ever pass our lips, even in a joke, which will not bear the strictest scrutiny under the searchlight of truth. If our surplus energy must find vent in some way, let it be utilized in providing surprises in the shape of blessings for the widows and the fatherless or in doing something that will contribute to the happiness and well being of our fellowmen.” (George Q. Cannon, Gospel Truths, p. 452)
