"In
the genius of the gospel plan, there ultimately only has to be one witness, but
that witness must be you. The testimony of others may initiate and nourish the
desire for faith and testimony, but eventually every individual must find out
for himself. None can permanently endure on borrowed light.
"The restored gospel is not truer today than when a solitary boy walked out of the Sacred Grove in 1820. Truth has never been dependent on the number who embrace it. When Joseph left the grove, there was only one man on earth who knew the truth about God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. It is necessary, however, that each find out for himself and carry that burning testimony into the next life." - Douglas L. Callister, "Knowing What We Know," General Conference, 7 October 2007

"A spiritual-minded man is observant of
the beauty in the world around him. As the earth was organized, the Lord saw
that 'it was good.'
Then, 'It was very good.'
(Gen. 1:4, 31.) It
pleases our Father in Heaven when we, also, pause to note the beauty of our
environment, which we will naturally do as we become more spiritually sensitive.
Our awareness of grand music, literature, and sublime art is often a natural
product of spiritual maturity. In poetic allusion to the theophany of Moses and
the burning bush, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote, 'Earth's
crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; And only he who sees
takes off his shoes.' (In John Bartlett,
"Familiar Quotations," 11th ed. (1937), 4)" - Douglas L. Callister, "Seeking
