“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

“Except the Christ be born again tonightIn dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame,The world will never see his kingdom bright.”

“The rich man cannot enter the kingdom of heaven because he is already there.”

“The Nephite prophets stressed that charity is not a man-made quality in those who possess it, but an endowment of the Holy Spirit, bestowed in some measure upon those who are born into the kingdom of God and thereafter increased in man by the influence of the Holy Ghost, as he grows in grace and in the knowledge of God.”

“What then is to become of man? Will he be the equal of god or the beasts? What a terrifying distance! What then shall he be? Who cannot see from all this that man is lost, that he has fallen from his place, that he anxiously seeks it, and cannot find it again? And who then is to direct him there? The greatest men have failed.”

“Again I tell you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
