“Like a man who has been dying for many days, a man in your city is numb to the stench.”

“It has not been by the wisdom of man that this people have been directed in their course until the present it has been by the wisdom of Him who is above man and whose knowledge is greater than that of man, and whose power is above the power of man….The hand of the Lord may not be visible to all. There may be many who cannot discern the workings of God’s will in the progress and development of this great latter-day work, but there are those who see in every hour and in every moment of the existence of the Church, from its beginning until now, the overruling, almighty hand of [God].”

“The City is free of sin The snow has given it absolution A man who slips A horse that falls Oh no, the city is in a nightgown”

“Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for thirty minutes, another man has it for thirty days. But it is the man who has it for thirty years who makes a success in life.”

“A man who has been dead for a week in a hot trailer looks more like a man than you would first expect.”

“Many a good man has been put under the bridge by a woman.”
