More quotes by Richard L. Evans
What better can parents and children give to each other than respectful, understanding attention.
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
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
Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself - things could always be worse and they are for someone else!
Richard L. Evans

Richard L. Evans
Happiness mainly depends on man's ability to work and the way in which he does it.
Richard L. Evans
It is a great moment in life when a father sees a son grow taller than he or reach farther.
Richard L. Evans
Parents sometimes simply don't have enough hands and time and attention to do all that is urgent. But in all things there is a priority of importance....and one of our urgent opportunities is to respond to a child when he earnestly asks, remembering that they don't always ask, that they aren't always teachable, that they won't always listen.
Richard L. Evans
This is life-and it is passing. What are we waiting for?
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
