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

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

As daughters of our Heavenly Father, and as daughters of Eve, we are all mothers and we have always been mothers. And we each have the responsibility to love and help lead the rising generation.

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

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.

The only way that we may overcome the world is by coming unto Christ. And coming to Christ means walking away from the world.

Faith is a principle of action. It is our willingness to believe in the Savior that unleashes His power in our lives. Faith is not a bulwark against tribulation, but an assurance that the Lord is overseeing all.
