She got her looks from her father. He’s a plastic surgeon.

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don’t care what your job is, you’re not gonna talk down to me, you’re not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I’m a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.

I love being American, and I love family. I love having a family, and I feel so blessed, and I feel like God gave me exactly what I wanted, so now I have to do the right thing in God’s eyes also. Just follow what God wants me to do.

Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.

I’m odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.

All things considered, there’s nobody better for children than parents.

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it’s just the thing that every man wants – to have a son and heir.

The only thing I have to go by is what my mother and father told me, how I was brought up.

It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.

The kindness that’s been shown to me, by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it’s really saved my life.

I’ve never been a hands-on dad. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but you can’t run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.

I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they’re already asleep.

As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.

Historically, the family has played the primary role in educating children for life, with the school providing supplemental scaffolding to the family.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

I think any activity you have your kids in, you’re all trying to live vicariously through them. And you’re jealous of the kid that’s naturally more talented or has the facility, the body, the genes, or the God-given talent. People get jealous of that.

I was not raised with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of.

My elder brothers were all put apprentices to different trades. I was put to the grammar-school at eight years of age, my father intending to devote me, as the tithe of his sons, to the service of the Church.

Regarding marriage, it – somehow, it didn’t happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen.

Actually, I didn’t start sweating until I had children.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

Traditions are a common part of our lives. They can be good, and not all traditions are wrong, but sometimes they can take the joy out of life.

People are always coming up to me and saying, ‚I heard your dad’s speech, and it’s really great.‘ And they’ll mention some place I didn’t even know my dad was going to.

I wasn’t allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.

My whole family are hams. They’re storytellers and everyone outdoes the next one.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

One time, this guy was bothering my mother, and me and my brothers had a stern talking with the guy and a little bit of physicality with him. So he disappeared. But I’m not a magician.

The Sabbath provides a wonderful opportunity to strengthen family ties.

Everything I have, my career, my success, my family, I owe to America.

She would have thrived as a grandmother. I know how much she would have contributed to their lives, and I am sad they will miss out on that.

I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.

It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But… it is better to be good than to be ugly.

I believe that my parents did wonderful things for us.

I actually feel more of a woman because I feel like I’m being smart about my choices, and I’m putting my family first, and I’m in charge of my life and my health. I think that’s what makes a woman complete.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

While the family is under attack throughout the world, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints proclaims, promotes, and protects the truth that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.

People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.

Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.

More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.

My father, who was jailed for stealing on more than one occasion, just abandoned his fatherly responsibilities and disappeared. I grew up working from the time I was nine years of age. Money was a big issue everywhere I lived.

God’s dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.

Freedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only if he be free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents, free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security of his old age and his family.

Where thou art, that is home.

I have a very good family. I’m very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It’s one of the things we have in our platform, is to talk about it.

Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.

We lived in a tall, narrow Victorian house, which my parents had bought very cheaply during the war, when everyone thought London was going to be bombed flat. In fact, a V-2 rocket landed a few houses away from ours. I was away with my mother and sister at the time, but my father was in the house.

My mother was Catholic, my father was Protestant. There was always a debate going on at home – I think in those days we called them arguments – about who was right and who was wrong.

If your mom cries a lot, you probably cry a lot. It’s what you learn.

My children love Maleficent’s voice, so they always make me do it at home.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.

It’s hard knowing who to trust with your personal life. When you cry in your room at night, you don’t always know who to call. So I am very close to my family.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

Sometimes, when I see my granddaughters make small discoveries of their own, I wish I were a child.

Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That’s something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.

If my mother knew I did this for a living, she’d kill me. She thinks I’m selling dope.
