Giuliani says: “Standing for Something.”

During the Republican presidential debate on Saturday January 5, 2008 a recorded question was posed from President Bush on how he would support a candidate who makes decisions based on principles and guidelines. When Rudy answered, he said a something about a president “Standing for Something.”

What Rudy doesn’t know is that he quoted the title of the book Standing for Something, which was written by LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley. The full title of the book is actually Standing for Something: 10 Neglected Virtues That Will Heal Our Hearts and Homes and highlights 10 virtues we should stand for as a people on this earth.

Those “10 Virtues” are: love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift and industry, gratitude, optimism, and faith.
