Happily, though we must each walk through life on our own, we don't have to do it alone.

There is one thing the power of God and the power of Satan have in common: Neither can influence us unless we allow them to.

There is no greater name for a leader than mother or father. There is no leadership more important than parenthood.

Its not living the gospel thats hard. Its life thats hard...How often do we make the mistake of talking to our youth about how hard it is...Shouldn't we instead be focusing on the doctrine of joy...? p 106

We just can't let the Lord down. And if the day comes when we are the only women on earth who find nobility and divinity in motherhood, so be it. For mother is the word that will define a righteous woman made perfect in the highest degree of the celestial kingdom, a woman who has qualified for eternal increase in posterity, wisdom, joy, and influence.

Life, like classical music, is full of difficult passages that are conquered as much through endurance and determination as through any particular skill.

Few of us will reach our potential without the nurturing of both the mother who bore us and the mothers who bear with us.
