“[T]he family is a school of compassion because it is here that we learn to live with other people. (68)”

“We have to make mistakes, it's how we learn compassion for others.”

“This family business can be so stressful - difficult, damaged people showing up t spend time with other difficult, damanged people”

“We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship.”

“If people can live through genocide and retain compassion, if they can take strength in pain, if they are able, still, to laugh, then certainly we can learn something from them.”

“It is only by loving others that we can learn to live; living is rare nowadays...most people survive; that is all.”
