“We do not wish incorrect and unsound doctrines to be handed down to posterity under the sanction of great names, to be received and valued by future generations as authentic and reliable, ... Errors in history and doctrine, if left uncorrected by us who are conversant with the events, and who are in a position to judge of the truth or falsity of the doctrines, would go to our children as though we had sanctioned and endorsed them.” IfsChildrenNamesLeftWishGenerationsEventsPositionJudgingOur ChildrenErrorsDoctrineFuture GenerationPosteritySanctionsFalsity Author:Brigham Young
“I have been raised to believe in freedom of thought and speech. If a minority wishes to accept that position it's their right.

“if you wish to train yourself for higher executive positions, the first thing for you to decide is what you are training for. Ability to dominate or manipulate others?

“Even if the constants which economists wish to determine were less numerous, and the method of experiment more accessible, we should still be faced with the fact that the constants themselves are different at different times.
