We have become so obsessed with public influence that we have forgotten the private world is where people are actually formed. In our homes, in our laps, in our wombs, this is where it all begins.

Society begins in a rocking chair with a woman holding her baby.

That is the essence of civilization right there.

Before a man becomes a leader, he was once a little boy at his mother’s kitchen table. Before a woman becomes a mother, she was a little girl watching how her own mother carried herself. Before a child goes out into the world, that child must first learn what love is, what discipline is, what beauty is, what sacrifice is, what faith is, what marriage is, what womanhood is, and what manhood is.

They discover all of this inside the home.

And whose sphere is the home?

It is ours.

It is the woman’s sphere.

Women are the keepers of that world.
