Quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
-
Be careful, fathers, when you inordinately desire things to be better for your children than they were for you.

It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves not only for what you are now but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along.

You will live in a time where instead of sometimes being fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit.
