The Laughter of the World

"The laughter of the world is merely loneliness pathetically trying to reassure itself."

— Neal A. Maxwell (The Neal A. Maxwell Quote Book)

So Concerned

"We are becoming so concerned about having perfect figures, or straight A’s, or professional status . . . that we are being torn from our true selves. We often worry so much about pleasing and performing for others that we lose our own uniqueness, that full and relaxed acceptance of ourselves as a person of worth and individuality".

[Patricia T. Holland, “The Soul’s Center” (13 January 1987), BYU 1986–87 Devotional and Fireside Speeches]
