“The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like Himself; when we have been proved in our present capacity, and been faithful with all things He puts into our possession. We are created, we are born for the express purpose of growing up from the low estate of manhood, to become Gods like unto our Father in heaven. That is the truth about it, just as it is. The Lord has organized mankind for the express purpose of increasing in that intelligence and truth, which is with God, until he is capable of creating worlds on worlds, and becoming Gods, even the sons of God” WorldHas BeensPurposeFatherHeavenBornLordGrowing UpGrowingMankindSonBecomingCreatingCapableLowsCapacityAll ThingsPossessionFaithfulOrganizedEstatesManhoodOur FatherFather In HeavenBecoming GodCreating Worlds Book:The Essential Brigham Young Source: The Essential Brigham Young
“Most boys or youths who have had much knowledge drilled into them, have their mental capacities not strengthened, but overlaid by it. They are crammed with mere facts, and with the opinions and phrases of other people, and these are accepted as a substitute for the power to form opinions of their own. And thus, the sons of eminent fathers, who have spared no pains in their education, so often grow up mere parroters of what they have learnt, incapable of using their minds except in the furrows traced for them.” PeopleMindFactsPainFormFatherGrowsOpinionBoysGrowing UpYouthSonCapacityMereAcceptedPhrasesSubstitutesIncapableNo Pain Book:Autobiography John Stuart Mill: Top Biography Source: Autobiography John Stuart Mill: Top Biography
“My father is a man with a great capacity for love and a huge heart, which has led him to be somewhat of a lothario, but at the same time, he's genuine. He's far more loving and kind than I could ever be. As selfish as he is, he is an extremely giving person. He's just 100 percent in every direction.” MenGivingHeartKindPersonsFatherHugePercentCapacitySelfishGenuine Author:Jake Busey
“Tracing the progress of mankind in the ascending path of civilization, and moral and intellectual culture, our fathers found that the divine ordinance of government, in every stage of the ascent, was adjustable on principles of common reason to the actual condition of a people, and always had for its objects, in the benevolent councils of the divine wisdom, the happiness, the expansion, the security, the elevation of society, and the redemption of man. They sought in vain for any title of authority of man over man, except of superior capacity and higher morality.” PeopleMenReasonGovernmentCultureFoundFatherCommonMoralPrinciplesPathProgressConditionsMankindStageSecurityObjectsDivineHigherMoralityCivilizationAuthorityIntellectualCapacityIndependenceSuperiorsRedemptionVainTitlesExpansionCouncilOur FatherBenevolentIndependence DayElevationAscentOrdinancesTracingAscendingDivine Wisdom Author:William M.

“I do not believe we can truly enter into our own inner pain and wounds and open our hearts to others unless we have had an experience of God, unless we have been touched by God. We must be touched by the Father in order to experience, as the prodigal son did, that no matter how wounded we may be, we are loved. And not only are we loved, but we too are called to heal and to liberate. This healing power in us will not come from our capacities and our riches, but in and through our poverty. We are called to discover that God can bring peace, compassion and love through our wounds.” BelieveHeartMayHas BeensMatterPainOrderFatherHealingCompassionPovertySonCapacityAnd LoveRichesWoundsHealTouchedWoundedProdigalsProdigal Son Author:Jean Vanier
