QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph F. Smith "Oh! God, let me not lose my own. I can not afford to lose mine, whom God has given to me and whom I am responsible for before the Lord, and who are dependent upon me for guidance, for instruction, for proper influence. Father, do not permit me to lose interest in my own . . . Charity begins at home. Life everlasting should begin at home.  "I should feel very badly to be made to realize, by and by, that through my neglect of home, while trying to save others, I have lost my own. I do not want that. The Lord help me to save my own, so far as one can help another. I realize I cannot save anybody, but I can teach them how to be saved. I can set an example before my children how they can be saved, and it is my duty to do that first" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 244).

QUOTE OF THE DAY Brigham Young "By and by the world will be overturned according to the words of the prophet, and we will see the reign of righteousness enter in, and sin and iniquity will have to walk off. But the power and principles of evil, if they can be called principles, will never yield one particle to the righteous march of the Savior, only as they are beaten back inch by inch, and we have got to take the ground by force. Yes, by the mental force of faith, and by good works, the march forth of the Gospel will increase, spread, grow and prosper, until the nations of the earth will feel that Jesus has the right to rule King of nations as he does King of Saints" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, p. 332-333).

QUOTE OF THE DAY Harold B. Lee "In your homes, I pray you, say as Joshua did of old: 'As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord' (Joshua 24:15).

If they will do that, the powers of the Almighty will descend upon them as the dews from heaven, and the Holy Ghost will be theirs" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B.

QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay "The first thing to do, my brethren [and sisters], is to look to yourselves, to see whether or not you are prepared to teach. No [person] can teach that which [they themself do] not know. It is your duty to teach that Jesus Christ is the redeemer of the world, that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that to him in this last dispensation there appeared God the Father and his Son in person. Do you believe it? Do you feel it?" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 121).

QUOTE OF THE DAY George Albert Smith "We talk about the philosophies of men and hold them up sometimes as a pretty picture, but when they conflict with the teachings of our Heavenly Father as contained in Holy Writ, they are valueless.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph F. Smith "What are we doing in our homes to train our children; what to enlighten them? What to encourage them to make home their place of amusement, and a place where they may invite their friends for study or entertainment? ...

Are we providing them with the physical knowledge, the mental food, the healthful exercise, and the spiritual purification, that will enable them to become pure and robust in body, intelligent and honorable citizens, faithful and loyal Latter-day Saints?" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 300).
