The king upon his throne has no higher work than has the mother. The mother is queen of her household. She has in her power the molding of her children’s characters, that they may be fitted for the higher, immortal life. An angel could not ask for a higher mission. {FLB 264.8}

På kongen har sin trone ikke noget større arbejde end moderen har. Moderen er dronning over hendes hushold. Hun har magt til at forme hendes børns karakter, så de kan udrustes til det højere evige liv. En engel kan ikke bede om en højere mission.
