Freedom comes not from resisting truth, but from applying it.

A woman’s moral influence is nowhere more powerfully felt or more beneficially employed than in the home. There is no better setting for rearing the rising generation than the traditional family, where a father and a mother work in harmony to provide for, teach, and nurture their children. Where this ideal does not exist, people strive to duplicate its benefits as best they can in their particular circumstances.

The gospel of Jesus Christ opens the path to what we may become.

You cannot lift others to virtue on the one hand if you are entertaining vice on the other.

Of all your associations, it is your relationship with God, your Heavenly Father, who is the source of your moral power.

The greatest service we can provide to others in this life, beginning with those of our own family, is to bring them to Christ.

Hard-earned achievement brings a sense of self-worth. Work builds and refines character, creates beauty, and is the instrument of our service to one another and to God. A consecrated life is filled with work, sometimes repetitive, sometimes menial, sometimes unappreciated but always work that improves, orders, sustains, lifts, ministers, aspires.
