More quotes by Richard L. Evans
Too much pessimism has led too many men into making serious mistakes. And perhaps part of our pessimism comes because we are too close to ourselves to see in proper perspective.
Richard L. Evans
Any man who can't control his thoughts can't control his actions, and any man who can't control his actions isn't safe in society.
Richard L. Evans
There's no pillow quite so soft as a father's strong shoulder.
Richard L. Evans
Parents who indulge themselves 'in moderation' may have children who indulge themselves to excess.
Richard L. Evans
This is life-and it is passing. What are we waiting for?
Richard L. Evans
No man is so wise that he cannot benefit by talking things out with others.
Richard L. Evans
A person soon learns how little he knows when a child begins to ask questions.
Richard L. Evans
There are few of us but who have been touched somehow by death. Some may not have been touched closely by it nor yet have kept vigil with it, but somewhere along our lives, most of us are sorely bereft of someone near and deeply cherished - and all of us will some day meet it face to face.
Richard L. Evans
One of our urgent opportunities is to respond to a child when he earnestly asks, remembering that they don't always ask.
Richard L. Evans
Indeed, the greatest blessing that can follow the death of those we love is reconciliation. Without it there is no peace. But with it come quiet thoughts and quickened memories. And what else shall a man do except become reconciled? What purpose does he serve by fighting what he cannot touch or by brooding upon what he cannot change?
Richard L. Evans
We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and courage to stop what we shouldn't do.
Richard L. Evans
We must carry things beyond conversation to conclusion.
Richard L. Evans
A boy is the only known substance from which a man can be made.
Richard L. Evans
Humor is essential to a full and happy life. It is a reliever and relaxer of pressure and tension, and the saving element in many situations.
Richard L. Evans
If we don't want temptation to follow us, we shouldn't act as if we are interested. No one ever fell over a precipice who never went near one.
Richard L. Evans
Shouldn't the commandments be re-written? No, they should be re-read!
Richard L. Evans
May we never let the things we can't have or don't have or shouldn't have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.
Richard L. Evans
One of the greatest accomplishments in this world would be that of lifting human hearts. Blessed are they who are kind and considerate of the feelings of other people.
Richard L. Evans
What better can parents and children give to each other than respectful, understanding attention.
Richard L. Evans
There never was a tonic that would cure more social ailments than a healthy, happy home. There never was a greater source of social stability than an affectionate and understanding family. There never was a better way of helping children to happiness than the close confidence of wise and loving and responsible parents.
Richard L. Evans
