Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate…
“ In forming estimates of human greatness, it is natural for men to consult their senses, not their reason.—With the idea of royal majesty we connect those of a chair of state, a numerous retinue, an ermine robe, a scepter and a crown. But wisdom and goodness are the qualities which confer real dignity and command just homage and respect. Our preconceptions of earthly magnificence much exceed the truth, and knowledge speedily levels the fabric which imagination had raised. But the wonders of nature, the mighty works of God grow upon us as we contemplate them. ”
