“The greatest battles of life are fought out daily in the silent chambers of the soul.””

“True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character.””

“The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no worldly success can compensate for failure in the home.””
