“Earning a few dollars more for luxuries cloaked in the masquerade of necessity—or a so-called opportunity for self-development of talents in the business world, a chance to get away from the mundane responsibilities of the home—these are all satanic substitutes for clear thinking. They are counterfeit thoughts that subvert the responsibilities of motherhood.” - Bishop H. Burke Peterson, of the Presiding Bishopric General Conference - April 1974 | wasmormon.org “Brothers and sisters, do without if you need to, but don’t do without mother. Mother is more important in the home than money or the things money can buy. Our Father in heaven wants you to be in your home to guide these spirits as no one else can, in spite of material sacrifices that may result.” - Bishop H. Burke Peterson, of the Presiding Bishopric General Conference - April 1974 | wasmormon.org
