When, in situations of stress, we wonder if there is any more in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacities perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail or to be wicked.

When we have been weighed and found wanting, let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks.

— Elder Neal A. Maxwell

We cannot do great things on this earth, just small things with great love.

— Mother Teresa

I’ve always been fascinated with quotes. Perhaps it is an offshoot of my ability to remember randoms bits, but I’ve always appreciated the humour or wisdom a good quote can bring. So, I’ve decided to share some of my favourites, along with some personal comments, with you! I’d like for them to appear regularly on Sundays, and it will be a while before I run out of material, so there’s hope for a good run. If there’s a quote you’d like to appear, email me and I’ll see what I can do. I’ll start this week with a quote on the power of love from Mother Teresa. Enjoy!
