It is the home which produces the nursery stock of new generations. I hope that you mothers will realize that when all is said and done, you have no more compelling responsibility, nor any laden with greater rewards, than the nurture you give your children in an environment of security, peace, companionship, love and motivation to grow and do well.
Gordon B. Hinckley

Be grateful for your problems, and know that somehow there will come a solution. Just do the best you can, but be sure it is the very best.
Gordon B. Hinckley
