Quotes of the day

I was sent an email with this talk in it. I liked the following quotes:

"A mother has far greater influence on her children that anyone else, and she must realize that every word she speaks, every act, every response, her attitude, even her appearance and manner of dress affect the lives of her children and the whole family.
It is while the child is in the home that he gains from his mother the attitudes, hopes and beliefs that will determine the kind of life he will live and the contribution he will make to society."

"Sister Marjorie Pay Hinckley said in her book, Small and Simple Things: “There is something about spirituality that is central to the life of a woman. Not the kind of spirituality that only takes you to church on Sunday. I am talking about the kind of spirituality that makes you behave like a child of God.”

And here are a little less serious quotes I found at this link: http://www.ldsmag.com/laughs/080929laughs.html
Saying It Like It Is
After a moving, spiritual lesson in Relief Society, a couple of sisters bore beautiful, sincere testimonies. At five minutes before the hour, a silence had fallen, so we all heard very clearly as a senior sister "whispered" to her neighbor: "Everybody wants to go home." It was to the sound of muffled laughter that we listened to the last testimony, sang the closing song and closed the meeting with prayer.

Selective Listening
A young mother put her preschooler in front of the television to watch " The First Vision " video while she did some chores. A while later, the little boy came to his mother and asked, "Did you know that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus?" The mother replied, "Yes. And do you know what they told him?" The little boy said: "They told him he didn't have to go to church anymore!" Jana McGettigan West Valley City , Utah
