Limitless Quotes
Stand tall and be strong in defense of those great virtues which have been the backbone of our social progress. When you are united, your power is limitless. You can accomplish anything you wish to accomplish. -President Gordon B. Hinckley, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are things you get ashamed of, because words make them smaller.
