Neal A. Maxwell
If the nearly one-and-a-half million babies aborted in America each year could, somehow, vote, chameleon candidates would find fresh reason to be concerned about abortion, whereas now they are unconcerned.
Neal A. Maxwell
Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
