WORDS TO REMEMBER

Quote by Elder Neal A. Maxwell

Elder Neal A. Maxwell

“The disciple is expected to give appreciation always and to be thankful, but he is forewarned against requiring reciprocity as a condition of friendship. He is further told to pay little heed to ingratitude toward him. We can’t dwell upon another’s ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.”
