"I hope that every married man has said to himself, 'I will be more kind and generous toward my companion and children' . . . I hope that every wife will look to her husband as her dear companion, the star of her life, her supporter, her protector . . . I hope that boys and girls will leave this conference with greater appreciation for their parents . . . I hope the noise of our homes will drop a few decibels. . .that all of us who are members of the church will be absolutely loyal to the church. The church needs your loyal support, and you need the loyal support of the church."

"I've lived through every war of the 20th century. . .my eldest brother lies buried in the soil of France, a victim of the First World War. . .We have been a very quarrelsome and difficult people in our conflicts one with another. We so need to turn to the Lord and look to Him. . .I think of the great words of Kipling: 'Judge of the Nations spare us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget.'"
"Our safety lies in the virtue of our lives. Our strength lies in our righteousness. God has made it clear if we will not forsake him, he will not forsake us. He watching over Israel slumbers not nor sleeps."
