My god! people say. You have so much self-control! And later: My god. You're so, so sick. When people say this, they turn their heads, you've won your little game.

The one who confidently looks forward to an eternal reward for his efforts in mortality is constantly sustained through his deepest trials.

He lives above his world and never loses sight of the goal of his salvation. Harold B. Lee

We must, therefore, emphasize that 'we' are not the government; the government is not 'us.' The government does not in any accurate sense 'represent' the majority of the people.

No organicist metaphor, no irrelevant bromide that 'we are all part of one another,' must be permitted to obscure this basic fact. Murray Rothbard
