QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball
"There are depths in the sea which the storms that lash the surface into fury never reach. They who reach down into the depths of life where, in the stillness, the voice of God is heard, have the stabilizing power which carries them poised and serene through the hurricane of difficulties" ("The Rewards, the Blessings, the Promises," Ensign, January 1974). |
