We once knew well our elder brother and our father in Heaven. We rejoiced at the prospect of earth life that could make it possible for us to have a fulness of joy. We could hardly wait to demonstrate to our father and our brother, the Lord, how much we love them and how we would be obedient to the in spite of the earthly opposition of the evil one. Now we are here. Our memories are veiled. We are showing God and ourselves what we can do. Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our father and his face is to us. -Ezra Taft Benson
The earth was not the first of the Lord’s creations. An infinite number of worlds have come rolling into existence at his command. Each is an earth; Many are inhabited with his spirit children; each abides the particular law given to it; and each will play its part in the redemption, salvation, and exaltation of the infinite host of the children of an almighty God. The Lord has said that his work and glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life for his children and all the inhabited worlds which he has created. -Bruce R. McConkie
The pure principles of element are principles which can never be destroyed; they may be organized and reorganized but not destroyed. They have no beginning and can have no end. -Joseph Smith
We put caps on ourselves.
The natural elements that make up the physical earth are sometimes referred to in the scriptures as dust. Thus Adam was created from the dust of ground meaning that the physical body which he received was created from elements of the earth. Similarly, all men are created from the dust of the earth; that is, the elements organized into a mortal body are assembled together through the birth process.” -Bruce R. McConkie

There will be no marrying, neither giving in marriage among those who reject the truth of the everlasting gospel. That privilege is confined to those who keep the commandments of the Lord in their fullness and who are obedient to the laws of God. Restrictions will be placed upon those who enter the terrestrial and telestial kingdoms, and even those in the Celestial Kingdom who do not get the exaltation; changes will be made in their bodies to suit their condition and there will be no marrying or giving in marriage, nor living together of men and women because of these restrictions. -Joseph Fielding Smith
The plan of salvation was calculated to save all who were willing to obey the requirements of the law of God. -Joseph Smith
