Joseph Fielding Smith

I know of no greater hope, of no more glorious doctrine, of no more consoling knowledge than this: that the family unit continues forever among those who believe and obey the fullness of the Lord’s laws.

John Muir

This grand show is eternal.  It is always sunrise somewhere: the dew is never all dried at once: a shower is forever falling: vapor ever rising.  Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands.  Each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

As quoted in The Little Book of Snowflakes, by Kenneth Libbrecht 2004 Voyageur Press

Spencer W. Kimball

We are limited in our visions. With our eyes we can see but a few miles. With our ears we can hear but a few years. We are encased, enclosed, as it were, in a room, but when our light goes out of this life, then we see beyond mortal limitations. …The walls go down, time ends and distance fades and vanishes as we go into eternity … and we immediately emerge into a great world in which there are no earthly limitations.

The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball (1982), 40–41.
