Keeping the commandments . . . is at once a demonstration of our intelligence, our knowledge, our character, and our wisdom.

I give to my friends the assurance that if they will recast their ideas and attitudes about the relative importance of the spiritual to the material, and bring themselves to participate in the mighty cause of establishing God's kingdom in the earth, they will find a satisfaction, a sureness of purpose, a peace and contentment, surpassing anything they have ever known.

Any conscious, wilful impairment of the body is an affront to God.

The Human body is sacred - the veritable tabernacle of the Divine Spirit which inhabits it. It is a solemn duty of mankind to develop, protect, and preserve it from pollution, unnecessary wastage, and weakness.

Debt is a task master to be feared almost as much as the dictators themselves. It has enslaved thousands in its meshes. It has wrecked happy homes.

I have never seen happier people than those who have repented.

Keeping the commandments . . . is at once a demonstration of our intelligence, our knowledge, our character, and our wisdom.
