The family is the building block of society

“The family is the building block of society. It is a nursery, a school, a hospital, a leisure centre, a place of refuge and a place of rest. It encompasses the whole of the society. It fashions our beliefs; it is the preparation for the rest of our life.” 

- Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of Great Britain, from the London Times, 26 May 1988. As quoted by Pres. Thomas S. Monson, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, in "Hallmarks of a Happy Home," General Conference, Oct 1988
