A Father will do well, as his son grows up . . . to talk familiarly with him: . . .The sooner you treat him as a man, the sooner he will begin to be one: and if you admit him into serious discourses . . . with you, you will . . .raise his mind above the usual amusements of youth, and those trifling occupations which it is commonly wasted in. . . . Nothing cements and establishes friendship and good will so much as confident communication. . . .When your son sees you open your mind to him [he will know he has] a friend and . . . father. ~John Locke, Richard Evans Quote Book (Salt Lake City: Publishers Press, 1971), 14
“There are three means of achieving the happy, abundant life: first, making God the center of one’s life; second, using the free agency given to man; and third, rendering service to others.” ~David O. McKay
