"Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. The mother’s image is the first that stamps itself on the … young child’s mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world." — David O. McKay
"Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me." —Doctrine & Covenants 19:23
