“Men always fool themselves when they give up experience for systems born of the imagination. Man is the work of nature, he exists in nature, he is subject to its laws, he can not break free, he can not leave even in thought; it is in vain that his spirit wants to soar beyond the bounds of the visible world, he is always forced to return.” MenWorldWantGivingLawScienceSpiritNatureBornImaginationNaturalBreakSubjectsFoolReturnGiving UpBoundsVainVisibleCan NotSoar Author:Baron d'Holbach

“Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fathers. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized” ThinkingGivingLittlesMadeLightEarthFatherSunPlanetsMoonRegardShiningIgnorantEveningVainSpheres Author:Brigham Young
