“Spiritual power is generated within temple walls, and sent out to bless the world ... Every home penetrated by the temple spirit enlightens, cheers, and comforts every member of the household. The peace we covet is found in such homes. Indeed, when temples are on earth, the whole world shares measurably in the issuing light; when absent, the hearts of men become heavy, as if they said, with the people of Enoch's day, 'Zion is fled'" (See Moses 7:69).” PeopleIfsMenWorldHeartSaidWholeHomeLightEarthSpiritualSpiritFoundShareWallComfortMembersHeavyWhole WorldTemplesBlessCheerHouseholdThey SaidAbsentEnlighteningMosesSpiritual PowerZion Author:John Andreas Widtsoe
“Be sure to incorporate your pooch into your daily activities to make her feel like a true family member. You can do this by signing your dog's name - or her paw print - on birthday cards, by getting 'from our dog to your dog' holiday cards, or by including your dog when asked the number of family members in your household. These small, considerate actions will make you an ideal petowner.” FeelsActionNamesCan DoNumbersDogActivityMembersIdealsIncludingCardsHolidayPrintHouseholdSigningFamily MembersPawsConsiderateBirthday CardHoliday CardDaily ActivitiesPaw PrintsTrue Family Author:Joyce Jillson
“Our society is monstrously disjunctive, at once so efficient in war and so inefficient in caring for the welfare of its members. It is frightening to see people rooting in garbage pails on streets, living in cardboard crates under bridges, while their government wages war. Even when there is an emergency in a household, decent parents do not forget to feed the children.” PeopleChildrenWarGovernmentParentForgetPovertyStreetsMembersCaringBridgesWelfareDecentOur SocietyEfficientHouseholdFrighteningWagesEmergenciesGarbage Book:PROSPECT: The Journal of an Artist Source: PROSPECT: The Journal of an Artist
“The most important difference between these early American families and our own is that early families constituted economic unitsin which all members, from young children on up, played important productive roles within the household. The prosperity of the whole family depended on how well husband, wife, and children could manage and cultivate the land. Children were essential to this family enterprise from age six or so until their twenties, when they left home.” WellsChildrenImportantWholeHomeAgeYoungLeftDifferencesRolesWifeEconomicLandHusbandMembersEssentialsSixTwentiesProsperityManageEnterpriseProductiveHouseholdYoung ChildrenWhole FamilyAmerican FamilyHusband Wife Book:All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure Source: All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure
“My grandmother was also an active member of the tenants association and a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, and both of my parents were extremely liberal, so I think I grew up in a household that was very politically conscious - we all watched the elections on TV, and we watched the debates. So it was an awareness that we were raised with, and as we grew into young adults, we just naturally became politically active. It was just understood that it was important, that it was our responsibility.” ThinkingImportantYoungParentPartyResponsibilityAwarenessTvsGrewMembersGrew UpConsciousUnderstoodAdultsElectionDemocraticRaisedYoung AdultActiveDebateGrandmotherAssociationHouseholdSupporterMy GrandmotherDemocratic PartyTenants Author:Scarlett Johansson
“The eyes and ears, seeing and hearing, are external plunderers; emotions, desires, and opinions are internal plunderers.

“Humans have a fraught relationship with beasts. They are our companions and our chattel, our family members and our laborers, our household pets and our household pests.

“Households and businesses cut expenses every day.
