The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness.

Ezra Taft Benson
I say to all of you the Lord has charged men with the responsibility to provide for their families in such a way that the wife is allowed to fulfill her role as mother in the home.
Second, you have a sacred responsibility to provide spiritual leadership in your family.
Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessons the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training and loving their children.
As the patriarch in your home, you have a serious responsibility to assume leadership in working with your children. You must help create a home where the Spirit of the Lord can abide. Your place is to give direction to all family life. You should take an active part in establishing family rules and discipline.
Ezra Taft Benson, General Conference, October 1987

Spencer W. Kimball
To be a righteous woman is a glorious thing in any age. To be a righteous woman during the winding-up scenes on this earth, before the second coming of our Savior, is an especially noble calling. The righteous woman's strength and influence today can be tenfold what it might be in more tranquil times. She has been placed here to help, to enrich, to protect and to guard the home - which is society's basic and most noble institution. Other institutions in society may falter and even fail, but the righteous woman can help to save the home, which may be the last and only sanctuary some mortals know in the midst of storm and strife.
Spencer W. Kimball, as quoted in Daughters in my Kingdom, ch.9
