Your children....are like diamonds...they may need polish.. and education of the right kind will impart this lustre.
George Q. CannonYou may talk about religion and speak about the Gospel, and say we have got the truth and the plan of salvation, and we have got the authority of the Priesthood; but if we are not honest, it does not amount to anything; for neither God nor honorable men love dishonesty. We must, therefore, be an honest people.
George Q. CannonThe saints should always remember that God sees not as man sees; that he does not willingly afflict his children, and that if he requires them to endure present privation and trial, it is that they may escape greater tribulations which would otherwise inevitably overtake them. If He deprives them of any present blessing, it is that he may bestow upon them greater and more glorious ones by-and by.
George Q. CannonIf I am an angry man, it is my duty to pray for charity, which suffereth long and is kind.
George Q. CannonChildren of polygamists besides being equally as bright and brighter intellectually, are much more healthy and strong.
George Q. CannonIt is true that some have greater power of resistance than others, but everyone has the power to close his heart against doubt, against darkness, against unbelief, against anger, against hatred, against jealousy, against malice, against envy. God has given this power unto all of us, and we can gain still greater power by calling upon Him for that which we lack. If it were not so, how could we be condemned for giving way to wrong influences?
