GROVER CLEVELAND, DEC. 8, 1885, 1ST ANNUAL
MESSAGE:
The strength, the perpetuity, and the destiny of the nation rest
upon our homes, established by the law of God, guarded by parental
care, regulated by parental authority, and sanctified by parental love...
The mothers of our land, who rule the nation as they mold the
characters and guide the actions of their sons, live according to God’s
Holy Ordinances, and each, secure and happy in the exclusive love of
the father of her children, sheds the warm light of true womanhood,
unperverted and unpolluted, upon all within her pure and wholesome
family circle...
The fathers of our families are the best citizens of the Republic.
Wife and children are the sources of patriotism, and conjugal and
parental affection beget devotion to the country. The man who is
surrounded in his single home with his wife and children has a stake in
the country which inspires him with respect for its laws and courage
for its defense.
