“While brother Joseph was referring to the provinces of God, I was led to reflect that there is no act, no principle, no power belonging to the Deity that is purely philosophical. The birth of the Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood - was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers.” ChildrenActionFatherJesusChristNaturalResultsPrinciplesBloodBrotherBirthJesus ChristPhilosophicalOur ChildrenFleshBelongingDeitiesOur FatherSaviourProvincesReferringFlesh And Blood Author:Brigham Young
“I'd say that, in addition to actually taking my brother and sister and I camping and hiking and river rafting all our lives and introducing us to the power of natural landscapes, his [my father's] biggest impact on my thinking has been to always argue that the "spiritual case for Nature" was not going to outweigh the needs of 7 billion people and to insist that law, science and economics were the critical frameworks through which we had to defend the value of nature.” PeopleThinkingNeedsHas BeensSpiritualLawValuesFatherNaturalCasesOur LivesBrotherEconomicsRiversImpactCriticalArguingBillionsLandscapeMy BrotherHikingIntroducingBrothers And SistersFrameworkCampingRafting Author:Edward Norton

“It's perversion. Don't you see what it is? It's not natural. To go to great expense for something you want, that's natural. To reach out to take it, that's human, that's natural. But to get your pleasure from not taking, from cheating yourself deliberately like my brother did today, from not getting, from not taking. Don't you see what a black thing that is for a man to do? How it is to hate yourself?” MenWantHumansTodayHateBlackNaturalPleasureBrotherGreedLustMy BrotherCheatingExpensesReach OutHate YouPerversionCheating Yourself Author:Abraham Polonsky
