A nation will rise no higher than the strength of its homes. If you want to reform a nation you begin with families.

Life is precious. Life is sacred. And it ought so to be observed.

Try a little harder to be a little better.

Cultivate within yourselves the mighty power of self-discipline.

Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy.

Spare yourselves from the indulgence of self-pity. It is always self-defeating. Subdue the negative and emphasize the positive.
