fron the bio ofJuanita Brooks by Levi Peterson:
When young Juanita argued with her Sunday School teacher incessantly, her father "drew an analogy which Juanita would long after make famous among liberal Mormons. A cowboy who wants to turn a stampeding herd can run neither in it nor against it; he must ride at the edge. 'Happy sounds are generally better than cursing,' she would quote him as saying, 'but there are times when he must maybe swear a little and swing a whip or lariat to round in a stray or turn the leaders. So don't lose yourself, and don't ride away and desert the outfit. Ride the edge of the herd and be alert, but know your directions, and call out loud and clear. Chances are, you won't make any difference, but on the other hand, you just might.'"
