When you . . . see our Father, you will see a being with whom you have long been acquainted, and He will receive you into His arms, and you will be ready to fall into His embrace and kiss Him. . . . You will be so glad and joyful. . . . When you are qualified and purified, . . . you can endure the glory of eternity. [Brigham Young, JD 4:54–55]

"I used to say to ministers when I was travelling and preaching, "I will not dispute. If you want the truth, I will give it to you; and if you have a truth that I have not, I want all you have, but contention is not my calling, it is no part of the gospel of Christ; that is peace, life, light, and salvation. The Lord has given that to me and you and you are welcome to it."

Brigham Young, Journal of Discourse 14:121
