When harmony, mutual consideration and trust pass out of the home, hell enters in.
No parent can consistently teach faith in Christ who profanes the name of Deity. Profanity is never heard in the well-ordered home. Swearing is a vice that bespeaks a low standard of breeding. Blasphemous exclamations drive out all spirit of reverence.
Out of the homes of America will come the future citizens of America, and only as those homes are what they should be will this nation be what it should be.
Seeking the pleasure of conjugality without a willingness to assume the responsibilities of rearing a family is one of the onslaughts that now batter at the structure of the American home. Intelligence and mutual consideration should be ever-present factors in determining the coming of children to the home.
I desire to call attention to the fact that the united, well ordered American home is one of the greatest contributing factors to the preservation of the Constitution of the United States. It has been aptly said that "Out of the homes of America will come the future citizens of America, and only as those homes are what they should be will this nation be what it should be."
The first contributing factor to a happy home is the sublime virtue of loyalty, one of the noblest attributes of the human soul.
The home is the basis of a righteous life and no other instrumentality can take its place nor fulfill its essential functions.
That home is most beautiful in which you find each person striving to serve the other.
In the well-ordered home we may experience a taste of heaven.
It is possible to make home a bit of heaven; indeed, I picture heaven to be a continuation of the ideal home
I wish to emphasize the fact that our homes should be more attractive and that more of our amusements should be in the home instead of the streets.
The greatest work we will ever do will be within the walls of our home.
There should be no yelling in the home unless there is a fire.
The united, well-ordered American home is one of the greatest contributing factors to the preservation of the Constitution of the United States.
