I wanted to thunder and roar out the Gospel to all nations. It burned in my bones like fire pent up... Nothing would satisfy me but to cry abroad in the world, what the Lord was doing in the latter days.

The idea that the Lord our God is not a personage of tabernacle is entirely a mistaken notion. He was once a man. Brother Kimball quoted a saying of Joseph the Prophet, that he would not worship a God who had not a Father; and I do not know that he would if be had not a mother; the one would be as absurd as the other. If he had a Father, he was made in his likeness. And if he is our Father we are made after his image and likeness.

The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like himself.

Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?

Daily toil, however humble it may be, is our daily duty, and by doing it well, we make it a part of our daily worship.

He is our Father - the Father of our Spirits, and was once a man in mortal flesh as we are, and is now an exalted being.
