Women
who make a house a home make a far greater contribution to society than those
who command large armies or stand at the head of impressive corporations. Who
can put a price tag on the influence a mother has on her children, a
grandmother on her posterity, or aunts and sisters on their extended family? We cannot begin to measure or calculate the
influence of women who, in their own ways, build stable family life and nurture
for everlasting good the generations of the future. The decisions made by the
women of this generation will be eternal in their consequences. May I suggest
that the mothers of today have no greater opportunity and no more serious
challenge than to do all they can to strengthen the [home].
