“Pray hard for your children, dedicate yourself to being a good example for them. You won’t get it right every day. I certainly didn’t, but be focused on that. Be disciplined as – to the extent you can be about that. Know that that little boy or that little girl is watching closely not only you but how you interact with your spouse and they are modeling the things that you do. And bring the Lord into their life. If you do those things and do – and try to do them well every day, you’re likely to end up with a child that matures in a way that you’ll be very, very proud of when the years move on.” – Mike Pompeo
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates.” – Moses by Tradition
