Boyd K. Packer Quotes
Teenagers also sometimes think, 'What's the use? The world will soon be blown all apart and come to an end.' That feeling comes from fear, not from faith.

Everything that I have learned from the revelations and from life convinces me that there is time and to spare for you to carefully prepare for a long life.
