The family is the most important unit in time and in eternity and is ordained of God.

Quentin L. Cook

The family is the most important unit in time and in eternity and, as such, transcends every other interest in life.

Howard W. Hunter

Marriage and family are ordained of God. The family is the most important social unit in time and in eternity. Under God's great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in His holy presence forever. That is eternal life!

Russell M. Nelson

The family is not just the basic unit of society; it is the basic unit of eternity.

M. Russell Ballard

We don't have the family organization the way we used to. My father lives with us because we have the room. The greatest of all opportunities for our children is a complete family unit.

Dixie Carter

Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.

Joseph Campbell

One can take eternity and time to be predicates of God since, being the Ancient of Days, He is the cause of all time and eternity. Yet He is before time and beyond time and is the source of the variety of time and of the seasons. Or again, He precedes the eternal ages, for He is there before eternity and above eternity, and 'His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom' (Ps. 145:13). Amen.

Pope Dionysius

Whether we like it or not, a breakdown in home-life will eventually lead to a breakdown everywhere. This is, surely, the most menacing and dangerous aspect of the state of society at this present time. Once the family idea, the family unit, the family life is broken up - once that goes, soon you will have no other allegiance.

Martyn

The body is not important. It is made of dust; it is made of ashes. It is food for the worms. The winds and the waters dissolve it and scatter it to the four corners of the earth. In the end, what we care most for only lasts a brief lifetime, and then there is eternity. Time forever. Millions of worlds are born, evolve, and pass away into nebulous, unmeasured skies; and there is still eternity. Time always. The body becomes dust and trees and exploding fire, it becomes gaseous and disappears, and still there is eternity. Silent, unopposed, brooding, forever.

Rudolfo Anaya

If you're in a family unit... and the boys are having a particularly hard time, the impact on the entire family is troublesome.

Valerie Jarrett

Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.

Brett Favre

Even as the cell is the unit of the organic body, so the family is the unit of society.

Ruth Nanda Anshen

Young women, the family unit is forever, and you should do everything in your power to strengthen that unit.

Ezra Taft Benson

The family was not only the social unit, but also the unit of government.

Charles Eastman

I have my family, which is my main thing; the organization; a modeling career. All these things are important, but family definitely comes first.

Christy Turlington

Transiency is stamped on all our possessions, occupations, and delights. We have the hunger for eternity in our souls, the thought of eternity in our hearts, the destination for eternity written on our inmost being, and the need to ally ourselves with eternity proclaimed by the most short-lived trifles of time. Either these things will be the blessing or the curse of our lives. Which do yon mean that they shall be for you?

Alexander MacLaren
