“No other success [in life] can compensate for failure in the home.”

“No other success can compensate for failure in the home.”

“While no other success of ours can compensate for our failures within or outside our homes, there is a success that can compensate when we cannot, after we conscientiously do all we can. That success is the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which can mend what for us is beyond repair.”

“The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no worldly success can compensate for failure in the home.”

“Many people seem to think that success in one area can compensate for failure in other areas. But can it really?...True effectiveness requires balance.”

“It is questionable, for that matter, whether success is an adequate response to life. Success can eliminate as many options as failure.”
