The peril of this century is spiritual apathy. As the body requires sunlight, good food, proper exercise and rest, so the spirit of man requires the sunlight of the Holy Spirit; proper exercise of the spiritual functions; the avoiding of evils that affect spiritual health, that are more ravaging in their effects than typhoid fever, pneumonia, or other diseases that attack the body.

Happiness consists not of having, but of being. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself.

It is possible to make home a bit of heaven; indeed, I picture heaven to be a continuation of the ideal home

Peace springs from righteousness in the soul, from upright living.

Wisdom is the right application of knowledge; and true education...is the application of knowledge to the development of a noble and Godlike character.

The character of a child is formed largely during the first twelve years of his life. He spends 16 times as many waking hours in the home as in the school, and 126 times as many hours in the home as in the church. Each child is, to a great degree, what he is because of the ever-constant influence of home environment and the careful or neglectful training of parents. Home is the best place for the child to learn self-control, to learn that he must submerge himself for the good of another. It is the best place in which to develop obedience, which nature and society will later demand.

True happiness comes only by making others happy.
