“I remember what J. Golden Kimball said when he came down to the stake where I was presiding. I introduced him as the 'Will Rogers' of the Church, and told the congregation that he was a great humorist. When he got up he said, 'You know, I think the Lord himself likes a joke. If he didn't, he wouldn't have made some of you folks!” IfsThinkingKnowsMadeSaidRememberChurchLordJokesFolksLikesGoldenStakesRogerCongregationHumorists Author:Hugh B. Brown

“Seek the truth in all fields, and in that search you will need at least three virtues: courage, zest and modesty. The ancients put that thought in the form of a prayer. They said, “From the cowardice that shrinks from new truth, from the laziness that is content with half truth, from the arrogance that thinks it has all truth – O God of truth, deliver us.” ThinkingNeedsSaidFormThreePrayerHalfVirtueFieldsArroganceCowardiceLazinessModestyThey SaidShrinksZestHalf Truth Author:Hugh B.

“More thinking is required, and we should all exercise our God-given right to think and be unafraid to express our opinions, with proper respect for those to whom we talk and proper acknowledgment of our own shortcomings. We must preserve freedom of the mind in the church and resist all efforts to suppress it. The church is not so much concerned with whether the thoughts of its members are orthodox or heterodox as it is that they shall have thoughts.” ThinkingShouldMindGivenChurchEffortOpinionExerciseMembersConcernedPreservesOrthodoxShortcomingsUnafraidAcknowledgmentLds Author:Hugh B.
