The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods?

When the surf of the centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will still be standing, because it is a celestial institution, formed outside telestial time.”
― Neal A. Maxwell

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
