Dissatisfaction with what is around us is not a bad thing if it prompts us to seek betterment, but the best sort of dissatisfaction in the long run is self-dissatisfaction which leads us to improve ourselves.

Affection of any sort borders on vulgarity, and at the least it is ridiculous to pretend to feelings and beliefs that do not appeal to your intelligence.

But while I believe all that God has revealed, I am not quite sure that I understand what he has revealed, and the fact that he has promised further revelation is to me a challenge to keep an open mind and be prepared to follow wherever my search for truth may lead.

13 may 1969 byu dialogue

Again I emphasize, there is no final goal. Life must continue to expand, to unfold, and to grow, if it is to continue to be a good life.

13 may 1969 byu dialogue

We have been blessed with much knowledge by revelation from God which, in some part, the world lacks. But there is an incomprehensibility greater part of truth which we must yet discover. Our revealed truth should leave us stricken with the knowledge of how little we really know. It should never lead to an emotional arrogance based upon a false assumption that we somehow have all the answer-that we in fact have a corner on truth. For we do not.

13 may 1969 byu dialogue

There are forces at work in our society today which degrade an intellectual quest for knowledge. These forces are nothing new. They have always been powerful. They are anti-intellectual. Forces in this country and in other countries are known and grappled with, but they are making headway. The Know-Nothings of the last century in this country could be cited as but one example. Germany in the thirties say the burning of books and the glorification of barbaric emotion as part of the tragedy of Hitlerism.

As you go forward in your search for truth, and as you espouse principles and establish ideals toward which to work, pray for courage to be true to you loyalties, to your ideals and to yourself

13 may 1969 byu dialogue

As we progressively become aware of ourselves, our universe, and the purpose of our being, we envision certain goals and ideals toward which to work. If you enthrone high ideals in your hearts and minds, they will mirror your destiny and become a part of you.

be aware beware the abundant life, p. 44

With self awareness we discover the innate music and beauty which the Creator planted in our hearts and minds; the loveliness which enshrouds our purest thoughts, our finest impulses. As we become aware of the latent beauty of the soul we stand in awe, wonder, and reverence. We are made humble and inquisitive before life’s unexplained mysteries, but proud and grateful that we are part of it all; thankful that we can wonder and search, comprehend, aspire, unfold, and achieve.

be aware beware the abundant life, p. 44

He who would enrich his personality and live abundantly must glorify his intelligence with the warmth and glow of love for God and fellowmen. In other words, the head and heart must support each other.

be aware beware the abundant life, p. 45

Be constantly aware and increasingly more worthy of your image nature, for of all of God’s creations only man was created in His image. He breathed into man the breath of life, planted in him the seed of Godhood, and entrusted him at birth with a precious fragment of the divine mind to develop and mature in the harsh soil of mortal life. Let each one be aware of his ever-emerging best and cultivate a divine discontent and candid self-criticism.

be aware beware the abundant life, p. 47

Be temperate in all things.

be aware beware the abundant life, p. 49

A sense of relationship and co-partnership with God involves the concept of universal brother-hood and that will help to develop intelligent tolerance, open-mindedness, and good-natured optimism. Life is really a battle between fear and faith, pessimism and optimism. Fear and pessimism paralyze men with skepticism and futility.

Science and religion are partners in man’s constant effort to learn the truth about himself, his universe, and God.

be aware beware the abundant life, p. 52

Our education is just beginning, and that is true and will always be true of all of us, both here and hereafter. Life will continue to be a commencement, a beginning, and those two words will, carrot-like, be forever dangling and beckoning along the way. Beware of arriving, for that puts an end to the journey, deadens interest in horizons, and kills the stimulating spirit of adventure.

be aware beware the abundant life pp 47 48

They who seek truth must have courage, must love truth, and must be unafraid of new adventure. They must be willing to depart, if need be, from the beaten path, and to alter and amend their own opinions. They must have vision to see, valor to venture, and faith to sustain them on the quest.

Eternal Quest, p. 17

Religion is dynamic, positive, joy giving—an eternal challenge to creative living.

Eternal Quest, p. 19

There is no goal at which we arrive and, arriving may bide. We believe not only in eternal life but in eternal progress. Let us then, as our loved ones leave us, turn our faces hopefully towards the dawn and courageously carry on.

Eternal Quest, p. 49

We seek to arouse in all who are young in mind, a broad and well-rounded acquaintance with and enthusiasm for fine books, that their increasing knowledge shall continue to be vigorous, dynamic, and zestful, that life may be worth living. Liberal education—the education that liberates the human mind from prejudice and provincialism—is education for freedom. The love of great books should be earnestly desired by every person. If we are to be free, our minds must be free. He who loves and becomes acquainted with great books is the richest and happiest of men.

In my opinion, there are no people in the world to whom the challenge of this generation’s vast outpouring of knowledge is more direct and more imperative than it is to the Latter-day Saints.

The Abundant Life, p. 103

Among the things which we have to incorporate in our education is a hunger and thirst for knowledge, a continuing quest. Education has been said to be a continuous life-long process. From the revelations of the Lord we find that it is an eternal process. What one knew at twenty-one, at thirty-five, or at sixty is never enough to last a lifetime.

The Abundant Life, p. 103

The wise are too aware of their weaknesses to assume infallibility. The man who knows the most knows how little he knows.

The Abundant Life, p. 103

In man’s quest for God and the good life, there is one book which continues to be indispensable[: the Bible].

The Abundant Life, p. 105

I sometimes fear that our own members are not as well acquainted with the bible as they ought to be.

The Abundant Life, p. 106

While making a lifetime study of the Standard Works of the Church, one should also become familiar with the classics, with Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson, and Wordsworth. He should read something of the philosophers and scientists, should find out how boundaries of knowledge have been altered and extended in religion and in literature. One should know something of the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, and the later philosophers, who, while they err in many respects, will start a man thinking independently and courageously on the meaning of life and its purpose.

The Abundant Life, p. 107 I stood not long ago in the nation’s Capitol, and was present at the funeral of President Kennedy. There were present, of course, the heads of government from many parts of the world—kings, rulers, presidents, ambassadors, premiers. I felt rather subdued and humbled, as would anyone in the presence of such an aggregation of leadership.

But this morning I find myself in the House of God, where I feel he is present. By comparison all of the rest of these put together do not amount to anything but glitter and show. Authority, yes; responsibility, yes; but when I come into this presence, His presence, I do not address Him as "Your Majesty," as "Mr. President," I do not bow before a crowned head—I come into His presence and say, "Father-my Father." What does that mean? It means that my presence there results from that relationship, and that I don’t need to feel subservient in the sense that vassals do. I am reminded again and gain that He, the God of Heaven, the Creator of all that is, is my Father; and that the Savior of all the world, the Redeemer, is my Brother. Oh, that I would be worthy of these relationships.

The Abundant Life, p. 115

Brethren and sisters, I feel—and I am sure you do—that it is incumbent upon us as members of the ChurchÉto pray, to commune with God, to take advantage of the priceless opportunity to come into His presence. If I should wish to see President Johnson of the United States next week or next month, it would be necessary for me to make an appointment through proper channels and wait my turn, and the waiting may be a long time. If I should want to see the Queen of England, or come into her presence, I would have to go through a long preparation and be introduced properly, and dress properly, and undertake to behave myself properly in her presence. If I wish to come into the presence of God, [I] simply walk up (figuratively) and open the door and say, ‘Good morning, as Thy son I would talk with Thee.Õ His door is always open, always available. I donÕt have to have somebody prepare the way for me. I can talk to Him at any time. (ibid. p. 117)

[T]he time will come when all men will know something of the glory of God. But the time will not come when I or any other man will arrive at a point in knowledge, experience or understanding beyond which we cannot go. In other words, we believe in eternal progression.

The Abundant Life, p. 116

Brethren and sisters, I feel — and I am sure you do — that it is incumbent upon us as members of the Church to become better informed day by day, to study, to meditate, to pray, to commune with God, to take advantage of the priceless opportunity to come into His presence. If I should wish to see President Johnson of the United States next week or next month, it would be necessary for me to make an appointment through proper channels and wait my turn, and the waiting may be a long time.

The Abundant Life, p. 117

This comprehension, this understanding, this concept of God that is ours is the greatest thought that can come into the heart or mind of a man anywhere in the world. I am a child of God. There is something of Him in me, and therefore there is no limit to what I may aspire to, no status that I may not work for, no glory that may not be mine if I will keep the laws that apply to the kind of growth that I wish to make.

We believe that as a philosophy, Mormonism is the most profound and the most hopeful in the world today. But it is more than a philosophy. To us it is the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, unadulterated by the speculations of men. The basic idea of our religion is the Fatherhood of God and the love of fellow men as basic principles. This philosophy was partially envisioned, of course, by Plato, Aristotle, and others, but it was proclaimed with inspiring clarity by Jesus Christ as a religion.

The Abundant Life, p. 93

Unfortunately, my own experience has been that a number of the brethren never learned this lesson [that people honor the office, not the person], instead becoming proud of the fact that they received an appointment which seemed to entitle them to the adulation of the people. Sometimes they even gave evidence of the feeling that they, not their office, formed the object of an adulation which, in my opinion, should be reserved to deity.

the memoirs of hugh b brown, p. 123

But the man who is to be successful as a church leader must learn that he is fallible, that he is mortal, and that the adulation of people can be detrimental if it gives him a wrong estimate of his own importance.

Although there are certain statements that whatever the brethren say becomes the word of God, this is a dangerous practice to apply to all leaders and all cases.

There is not enough of the attitude of the sincere investigator among us.

Some say that the open-minded leave room for doubt. But I believe we should doubt some of the things we hear. Doubt has a place if it can stir in one an interest to go out and find the truth for one’s self.

There are many churches in the world today, and in those churches are many people and many kinds of theology. I would like to distinguish between theology and religion. Religion is my pref- erence. Someone has said, "I hate botany, but I love flowers." I would say that I do not care for theology, but I love religion.

[R]evelation does not come only through the prophet of God nor only directly from heaven in visions or dreams. Revelation may come in the laboratory, out of the test tube, out of the thinking mind and the inquiring soul, out of search and research and prayer and inspiration.

We must be unafraid to content for what we are thinking and to combat error with truth in this divided and imperiled world, and we must do it with the unfaltering faith that God is still in his heaven even though all is not well with the world.

the memoirs of hugh b brown, p. 138

We should be dauntless in our pursuit of truth and resist all demands for unthinking conformity. No one would have us become mere tape recorders of other people’s thoughts. We should be modest and teachable and seek to know the truth by study and faith. There have been times when progress was halted by thought control. Tolerance and truth demand that all be heard and that competing ideas be tested against each other so that the best, which might not always be our own, can prevail. Knowledge is most complete and dependable when all points of view are heard.

the memoirs of hugh b brown, p. 138

We should continue to become acquainted with human experience through history and philosophy, science and poetry, art and religion.

And while all members should respect, support, and heed the teachings of the authorities of the church, no one should accept a statement and base his or her testimony upon it, no matter who makes it, until he or she has, under mature examination, found it to be true and worthwhile; then one’s logical deductions may be confirmed by the spirit of revelation to his or her spirit, because real conversion must come from within.

I knew him [B. H. Roberts] well and was impressed with his ability as a speaker, a writer, and a leader. In my opinion, he was the greatest defender of the church we had had up to that time. He and Orson Pratt were the two that I looked upon as the main ones who built a case for the church which could not be gain said?.I traveled with B. H. Roberts on many occasions. He became my ideal so far as public speaking was concerned and contributed much to my own knowledge of the gospel and to my own methods of presenting it. I owe a lot to B. H. Roberts.

With respect to people feeling that whatever the brethren say is gospel, this tends to undermine the proposition of freedom of speech and thought.

Intolerance, one of the bitter fruits of ignorance and bigotry, has plagued the world from the beginning and has been responsible for much of its sorrow and misery.

In the past, unfortunately, when discussing basic religious questions, it has been more difficult to find common ground of understanding than when considering, for instance, science or philosophy. The prejudice of the past has closed some minds to truth and made communication impossible. Victor Hugo promised that "A day will come when the only battlefield will be the market open to commerce and the mind open to new ideas." Thank the Lord that day is dawning, at least in our western world.

Our doctrine of man is positive and life affirming?.We refuse to believe, with some churches of Christendom, that the Biblical account of the Fall of man records the corruption of human nature or to accept the doctrine of original sin.

Ours is not a superficial faith that sees only the bright side of life and denies the fact of human tragedy. Our conscience is wounded by the massive evils that men have perpetrated in our time, by sins that are unspeakable in the depth of their horror. But we have the positive faith that places the responsibility of these sins squarely upon the individuals and societies who commit them.

A short time ago I visited the Air Force Academy in Colorado. An officer, while directing a tour of the campus, drew my attention to a monument, topped by a great bird—a falcon—and at its feet some young ones. Its wings were spread, obviously to protect its young, and seemingly encouraging them to fly. On the base of the monument I read: "Man’s flight through life is sustained by the power of his knowledge." On another campus recently I read over the door of one of the buildings: "A hunger for truth and understanding gnaws at the mind and spirit of man." The spirit of inquiry, and appetite for knowledge, is innate in the soul of man.

The love of great books should be earnestly desired by every person. If we are to be free, our minds must be free. He who loves and becomes acquainted with great books is the richest and happiest of men. Beginning with the bible, great books are always and everywhere contemporaneous. Reading minds are growing minds, and when we cease to read, we cease to grow. If we do not read well, we will not think well.

the value of good books continuing the quest, p. 329

The quest for knowledge becomes an important and necessary part of life, and it does not end—in fact, sometimes it does not begin in college. We should all continue to be deeply possessed by ideas. Education is not only a lifetime process, it is an eternal process. We believe God’s purpose in creating man is that man may gain immortality, eternal life, and eternal increase among other things, increase of knowledge, increase of wisdom, of awareness, of intelligence—which is the glory of God—all to the end that he might achieve self-mastery and exaltation.

the value of good books continuing the quest pp 328 329

We believe that before the creation of the body all men existed as intelligences. These were not created or made, neither indeed can be; the intelligent entity in man which we call spirit or soul is a self-existing entity, uncreated and eternal. Thus man is crowned with dignity which belongs to his divine and eternal nature.

Vision and Valor, p. 107

Any person’s conception of Deity must come within his mental horizon, which is determined by the degree of his intelligence. Man, by his reasoning, naturally endows God with his own noblest and highest ideals, which, if he be studious and devout, are ever-growing. Intellectual activity, then, produces an ever-changing—because ever-growing—concept of God. Once the mind has grasped the idea of God it will burn and glow and seek to assimilate and radiate, to adore, and to emulate.

Ours is not a superficial faith that sees only the bright side of life and denies the fact of human tragedy.

First, I would like you to be reassured that the leaders of both major political parties in this land are men of integrity and unquestioned patriotism. Beware of those who feel obliged to prove their own patriotism by calling into question the loyalty of other. Be skeptical of those who attempt to demonstrate their love of country by demeaning its institutions.

Vision and Valor, p. 207

Strive to develop a maturity of mind and emotion, and a depth of spirit which will enable you to differ with others on matters of politics without calling into question the integrity of those with whom you differ. Allow within the bounds of your definition of religious orthodoxy a variation of political belief. Do no have the temerity to dogmatize on issues whereon the Lords has seen fit to be silent.

Vision and Valor, p. 207

I am pleading for you to take note of the underlying truths having to do with our universe, with our lives, with our purpose in life, and then live as though we believe what we say when we say we believe in God. Jesus said, if you would have life eternal, you must know God. As we progressively cone to know him we will be prompted to emulated him.

Vision and Valor, p. 209

Across the centuries no experience has been more universal and helpful than the sense of someone greater than man dwelling with man, near enough to be called upon, responsive enough to understand. He is real and he is personal. he should not only be idealized, but also realized. We need not only to possess the idea of God, but to be posses by it.

Vision and Valor, p. 211

You have been taught to believe that God and man belong to a society of eternal intelligences. The difference is, of course, indescribably great, but it is one of degree rather than of kind.

If you will always keep in mind that you are actually the children of your Heavenly Father— that there is something of him in you, that you may aspire to become something like that from which you came-and cooperate with him in the unfinished work of creation, you will remember that his plan for salvation of his children had purpose behind it, a design to be carried out. If and as you keep these great truths in mind, you will be fortified and sustained in whatever life may hold for you.

Vision and Valor, p. 213

Seek to retain a certain flexibility of mind which will inspire you to listen, to learn, and to adapt as you move forward into a new and ever-expanding universe. "From the cowardice that shrinks from new truths," someone has said, "from the laziness that is content with half-truth, from the arrogance that thinks it knows all the truth, O god of truth, deliver us."

Vision and Valor, p. 213

Life means responsibility, adventure, adjustment, struggle, danger, chance, sacrifice, disappointment, conflict with evil and weakness. It means sickness and death, and parting, sorrow and worry, work and fatigue, jealousy and fear. It took courage to come to earth in face of all this.

Vision and Valor, p. 217

Repentance is really bringing one’s actions up to the level of his ideals. Too many people reverse that and bring their ideals down to the level of their conduct.

Vision and Valor, p. 221

The good life is a life that is pursued intelligently toward the cultivation of genuine spirituality, that is grounded in faith and knowledge, that is dedicated to truth. Faith is the rock foundation of all religion, but there is no special virtue in blind faith. Only faith that is grounded in a courageous search for truth is worthy of the student. We should reject every inclination to disregard or distort the facts, avoid the extremes of fanaticism, and above all else, demand the truth

Vision and Valor, p. 87

[T]he moral and spiritual truths which the world is seeking from its prophets must be proved and validated in the experience of men. In his search for truth, every man must be true to himself. he must answer to his own reason and to his own moral conscience. Anything less than this would betray his dignity as a human being and a child of God. True dignity is never won by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.

Vision and Valor, p. 87

But every discussion of faith must distinguish it from its caricatures. Faith is not credulity. It is not believing things you know are not so. It is not a formula to get the universe to do your bidding. It is not a set of beliefs to be swallowed by one gulp. Faith is not knowledge; it is mixed with lack of understanding or it would not be faith. Faith does not dwindle as wisdom grows. Above all, faith is to be contrasted with pessimism and cynicism. Those who say they have become disillusioned with life are lost without faith. Faith is confidence in the worthwhileness of life. It is assurance and trust. Perhaps the greatest contrast to faith is fear.

Vision and Valor, pp. 42-43 (quoting Obert Tanner in Christ’s Ideals for Living)

I hope you will realize that freedom is only a blessing if it is accompanied by wisdom and intelligence. And so I would say, beware of radicalism. At the same time I would urge you to resist the down drag of mental laziness which someone has said leads t the premature hardening of the intellectual arteries.

I have mentioned freedom to express your thoughts, but I caution you that your thoughts and expressions must meet competition in the market place of thought, and in that competition truth will emerge triumphant. Only error needs to fear freedom of expression. Seek truth in all fields, and in that search you will need at least three virtues: courage, zest and modesty. The ancients put that thought in form of a prayer. They said, “From the cowardice that shrinks from new truth, from the laziness that is content with half truth, from the arrogance that thinks it has all the truth—Oh, God of truth, deliver us.”

But man is also spiritual, mental, moral and aesthetic. And if he is to find satisfaction, it will be the satisfaction of his own complete and true and unavoidable nature.

If we would find true happiness we must continue the quest for which our spirits crave; a craving which is God-given and Godlike. A hunger for faith and understanding gnaws at the mind and spirit of man. Remember, though, what Weiman said: “The greatest enemy of truth is man’s tenacity in clinging to unjustified beliefs.”

Scientists and teachers of religion disagree among themselves on theological subjects. Even in our own Church men take issue with one another and content for their own interpretations. But this free exchange of ideas is not to be deplored as long as men remain humble and teachable.
