“The generation of Isaiah did not require the detailed description; his account, "I saw the Lord," &c., sufficed. The generation of the Babylonian exile wanted to learn all the details. ...Isaiah was so familiar with it that he did not consider it necessary to communicate it to others as a new thing, especially as it was well known to the intelligent.” WellsWantedKnownLordSawsGenerationsAccountsIntelligentDetailsCommunicateFamiliarDescriptionNew ThingsWell KnownExile Author:Maimonides

This is the account given by Isaiah, whether he told the truth or not I leave every body to judge for himself.” KnowsChildrenBodyGivenLordWifeJudgingWalkingAccountsFilledTrainRateScriptureTemplesPolygamy Author:Brigham Young

“Let him never cease from prayer, who has once begun to pray, even though his life is ever so bad. For prayer is the only way to amend one's life and without prayer it will never be mended. Let him not be tempted of the devil, as I was, to give up prayer on account of one's unworthiness. Let such a one rather believe that if he will only repent and pray, our Lord will still hear and answer.” IfsWayGivingBelieveStillsLife IsPrayerAnswersLordPrayingGiving UpDevilAccountsCeaseTemptedRepentOur Lord Author:Teresa of Avila
