Joseph Smith, Jr.We don't ask any people to throw away any good they have got; we only ask them to come and get more. What if all the world should embrace this Gospel? They would then see eye to eye, and the blessings of God would be poured out upon the people, which is the desire of my whole soul.
Joseph Smith, Jr.Could you gaze into heaven five minutes, you would know more than you would by reading all that ever was written on the subject.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
