Antidote Quote by Gordon B. Hinckley

“The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.” quote by Gordon B. Hinckley
