The Infinite Atonement (Illustrated Edition) by Tad R. Callistar
pg. 139--"The Savior would nobly endure the cross, all that man could endure, and much, much more. Yet amidst it all, there was no revenge, no bitterness, no venom in his soul. Elder Maxwell observed, "Jesus partook of history's bitterest cup without becoming bitter!" Eliza R. Snow put it poetically:
What a good point. Christ did not complain. I need to do better about not complaining. To see the blessings that I do have and to see how much I am loved. What a great example.
pg. 141--Elder McConkie felt similarly: "Again, on Calvary, during the last three hours of his mortal passion, the sufferings of Gethsemane returned, and he drank to the full the cup which his Heavenly Father had given him." On another occasion he echoed like sentiments: "To this we add, if we interpret the holy word aright, that all of the anguish, all of the sorrow, and all of the suffering of Gethsemane recurred during the final three hours on the cross, the hours when darkness covered the land." Commenting on the darkness surrounding the cucifixion, Elder McConkie queried, "Could it be that this was the period of his greatest trial, or that during the agonies of Gethsemane recurred and even intensified?"
I have always believed that the Garden was where the Atonement was performed and that the crusifixion was how He died but I never have thought that he had do do more of the actual suffering from our pains on the cross. It humbles me even more, and makes me stand in more awe of my Savoir and what He did for me.

No murm'ring word escaped his tongue.
