“As I view it, in every family a record should be kept...that record should be the first stone, if you choose, in the family altar. It should be a book known and used in the family circle; and when the child reaches maturity and goes out to make another household, one of the first things that the young couple should take along should be the records of their families, to be extended by them as life goes on...each one of us carries, individually, the responsibility of record keeping, and we should assume it.” IfsShouldFirstsChildrenBookYoungUsedViewsResponsibilityKnownRecordsGoes OnCoupleStonesAssumingCirclesMaturityCarrieYou ChooseHouseholdAltarsLife Goes OnYoung Couples Author:John Andreas Widtsoe
“Plato assumes somehow that government is a way in which you put unselfish and ungreedy men in charge of selfish and greedy men.

“They don't encourage quality today. When I was coming along, Columbia Records would sit with you and assume it would take two or three albums to get the act where it needed to be. Then the company would structure its promotion based on one, two or three years. They encouraged quality and innovation - that's why groups like the Beatles would use sitars, string orchestras and so forth.” YearsTwoUseTodayThreeQualityCompanyRecordsGroupsNeededInnovationStructureAssumingAlbumsStringsThree YearsOrchestraPromotionColumbia Author:Ramsey Lewis
