Youth need guidance, direction, and proper restraint...Parents, too, have a responsibility in this training not to provoke children to wrath. They should be considerate not to irritate by vexatious commands or place unreasonable blame. Whenever possible they should give encouragement rather than remonstrance or reproof.

True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character.

Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite. . . . There is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world.

I repeat that no greater immediate responsibility rests upon members of the Church, upon all citizens of this republic and of neighboring republics than to protect the freedom vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States.

Into the soul of every student I would have instilled the patriotic fervor of Patrick Henry.

What you think about when you don't think, shows who you really are.

Character is the aim of true education; and science, history, and literature are but means used to accomplish this desired end.
