uplifting quotes

So for Christmas my wonderful father-in-law gave me this beautiful and inspiring book called  "Created for Greater Things" by Jeffrey R. Holland. It has lots of gorgeous pictures and many touching quotes. I just wanted to share a few:

"Everything Christ taught He taught to women as well as men. Indeed, in the restored light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, a woman, including a young woman, occupies a majesty all her own in the divine design of the Creator."
