"Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality, especially while you struggle to keep your own."
--Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons
"...how grateful I am during those moments for the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ...to know that my work as a mother -- and it IS work -- is the most important thing I could be doing in my life and is worth every effort...Through His tender mercies, a loving Father in Heaven allows those days of absolute exhaustion to come punctuated with moments of incandescent joy."

"The greatest job that any mother will ever do will be in nurturing, teaching, lifting, encouraging, and rearing her children in righteousness and truth. None other can adequately take her place.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley
