You Cannot Lift Another Until: Harold B. Lee

--Harold B. Lee, "Stand Ye in Holy Places", Ensign, July 1973, 121

Peace: Christ & Unk
Peace does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise,
trouble,
or hard work,
it means to be in the midst of those things,
and still be calm in your heart.
(unk)
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you:
not as the world gives, give I to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:27
