"...you learn to do by doing, you learn to be by being, that motherhood is an art to be developed through practice. This art isn’t easy to learn, but learn you can because as you strive, the Lord will bless you with growth, patience, wider understanding, and loving warmth for your family’s special needs."

-H. Burke Peterson, "Mother, Catch the Vision of Your Call," April 1974 General Conference

Reading is one of the true pleasures of life.

-President Thomas S. Monson, "Hallmarks of a Happy Home," October 1988 General Conference

From the beginning down through the dispensations, God has used angels as His emissaries in conveying love and concern for His children.
...
Usually such beings are not seen. Sometimes they are. But seen or unseen they are always near. Sometimes their assignments are very grand and have significance for the whole world. Sometimes the messages are more private. Occasionally the angelic purpose is to warn. But most often it is to comfort, to provide some form of merciful attention, guidance in difficult times.

-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, "The Ministry of Angels," October 2008 General Conference

My dear sisters, your Heavenly Father loves you—each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there.

-President Thomas S. Monson, “We Never Walk Alone,” October 2013 General Conference
