"And it might well be added that every investigator of revealed truth stands, at some time in the course of his search, in the place where Joseph Smith stood. He must turn to the Mighty and gain wisdom from God by revelation if he is to gain a place on that strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life."

(McConkie, DNTC, 3:246-47.)

"The riches of this world are as dust compared to the riches that await the faithful in the mansions of our Heavenly Father. How foolish is he who spends his days in the pursuit of things that rust and fade away. How wise is he who spends his days in the pursuit of eternal life."

( "Earthly Debts, Heavenly Debts," Ensign, May 2004, 43)
