"Surely the secret citadel of women's inner strength is their spirituality. In this they equal and even surpass men, as they do in faith, morality, and commitment when truly converted to the gospel. They have "more trust in the Lord and more hope in his word". This inner spiritual sense seems to give them a certain resilience to cope with sorrow, trouble, and uncertainty. ~James E. Faust, "The Highest Place of Honor," Ensign, May 1988, 36

"The noblest calling in the world is that of mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books, and statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give." ~David O. McKay
