I love quotes. I really do. Something about the way some people can just eloquently portray their thoughts in such a beautiful yet simple way ... I can't get enough of it. So, expect this page to expand. And expand. And maybe, just maybe, expand a little more.

"You can't live your life worrying that the world is staring at you. When you let people's opinions make you self-conscious, you give away your power. The key to feeling [confident] is to always listen to your inner self...[the real you.]" - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

How is it that such a lovely voice which by divine nature is so angelic, so close to the veil, so instinctively gentle and inherently kind could ever in a turn be so shrill, so biting, so acrid and untamed? A woman’s words can be more piercing than any dagger ever forged, and they can drive the people they love to retreat beyond a barrier more distant than anyone in the beginning of that exchange could ever have imagined. Sisters, there is no place in that magnificent spirit of yours for acerbic or abrasive expression of any kind, including gossip or backbiting or catty remarks. - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

"Remember when getting high meant swinging at the playgrounds, and the worst thing you could get from the opposite sex was cooties. Your Mom was the girl who married your hero, and your Dad was your hero. Your worst enemies were your teachers or siblings, and war was just a card game. Race issues were who could run the fastest and the only drug you knew was cough medicine. A girl wearing a skirt didn't mean she was a slut and using protection meant wearing a helmet. The only think you smoked were the tires on your bike, and the only cuts you got were from the mulch under the swing. Skinned knees were the only thing that hurt, and only your toys got broken... Life was simple and so carefree, but what I remember the most was wanting to grow up...♥"

Maxwell
