[Brigham Young]
I can tell you the Lord has a hand in it. (The war between the Indians and Whites). I will prophesy the Indians will overcome the whites but the whites will continue to progress, until the Indians turn unto the Lord. I would rather have 1000 Latter-day Saint warriors trained to the Lord, than all the Indians, as they now are. -- Evening. (2)

[Brigham Young]
Many of the sisters grieve because they are not blessed with offspring. You will see the time when you will have millions of children around you. If you are faithful to your covenants, you will become mothers of nations. You will become Eves to earths like this; and when you have assisted in peopling one earth there are millions of earths still in the course of creation. (4)

[Brigham Young Jr.]
Politics has made many foolish brethren, they have lost their heads & are more foolish than the wicked gentiles. I fear for many who have been faithful men but are now blatant politicians [who] 'don't know a saints face from a gentiles backside.' (6)

[First Presidency letter to Roy Disney]
We have been most earnestly grateful for the use of this footage [a clip from "Fantasia"], and our need for it is urgent and will continue to be so into the future as far as we can foresee. For your information, this brief excerpt is used without identification in small restricted instruction classes, in which it introduces a discussion on the creation of the earth. The public is never invited to these classes; no publicity is ever given, and no admission charge is ever made. This most excellent footage has become inseparably a part of the brief introduction to this instruction in establishing a mood of reverence and awe for the Creator's work. (7)
