“Children can be very early taught...that they can hereafter find their chief happiness in giving up their will to God, and in living to do good to others, instead of living merely to please themselves.”
Beecher, Catharine E. (Catharine Esther)

“It is impossible for a conscientious woman to secure that peaceful mind and cheerful enjoyment of life which all should seek, who is constantly finding her duties jarring with each other, and much remaining undone, which she feels she ought to do. In consequence of this, there will be a secret uneasiness, which will throw a shade over the whole current of life, never to be removed, till she so efficiently defines and regulates her duties that she can fulfill them...”
Beecher, Catharine E. (Catharine Esther)

“There is nothing which has a more abiding influence on the happiness of a family than the preservation of equable and cheerful temper and tones in the [mother].”
Beecher, Catharine E. (Catharine Esther)
