Children Quote by Jeffrey Holland
““Every young woman is a child of destiny and every adult woman a powerful force for good. I mention adult women because, sisters, you are our greatest examples and resources for these young women. And if you are obsessing over being a size 2, you won't be very surprised when your daughter..makes herself herself physically ill trying to accomplish it.””
