Thomas S. Monson

Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey and share our love with friends and family. One day, each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is most important.

My observation over time is that success is 10% vision — or what some might call “goal clarity” — and 90% execution.

Alison Moore Smith

Unless you execute properly and remain focused until completion, the goal — and that means any goal — is absolutely irrelevant.

People hate to say no to your face, but have no problem at all saying no behind your back.

[Children] don't need to be entertained by [their parents]. In fact, it is harmful for their development to be constantly spoon-fed and entertained. In order to discover their talents and interests, they must search within themselves, and they can't do this if they are constantly being bombarded with stimuli. Avoid the temptation to plug in an electronic game or video to entertain them. There are times when watching videos are helpful and educational, but don't use the TV to eliminate boredom.

Most parents who home school do so because they want something better for their children than what is usually meant by the real world. Actually, the real world encompasses a lot of places and a lot of lifestyles. None of us can be comfortable in all places. The skid row alcoholic, for example, would be just as uncomfortable in a temple as a prophet would be in a bar. Some people consider it a mark of maturity for their children to slip easily into jr. high; other parents do not want their children to fit into that atmosphere, ever. Parents must decide which corner of the real world they want their children to be comfortable in and then prepare them for that life. If they are to be most comfortable in sacred homes and temples, they need to grow up in holy places.
