"Our wise founders seemed to understand, better than most of us, our own scripture, which states that â€˜it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority â€¦ they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.â€™"

-- Ezra Taft Benson

What is known and seen for you, if you cannot relate to that how can you relate to the unknown? If you can relate knowingly to your unknown thought, you can always find happiness. But you have to have nerves for it. You have to have a mental capacity for it, you have to have trained yourself, and this is the part of that training I have come to share with you.”
