“Since 1960, the U.S. population has increased 41%… . But during the same … period there has been a 560% increase in violent crime; a 419% increase in illegitimate births; a quadrupling in divorce rates; a tripling of the percentage of children living in single-parent homes, more than a 200% [increase] … The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find their roots in the teaching of children by fathers and mothers.” (Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Nov. 1993, pp. 54 ,59-60)
“The scriptures contain many evidences of the Lord’s willingness to prosper his people with the riches of the earth when they demonstrate that they will use this abundance prudently, with humility and charity, always acknowledging the source of their blessings.” (Dean L. Larsen, Conference Report, Oct. 1992, p. 57)
“In the time of prosperity, which we are now enjoying, it is highly proper for the Latter-day Saints to get out of debt… . Our experience in the years that have passed must have led us to the conclusion that we have periods of prosperity, followed by periods of depression… . I can pay more of my debts to my neighbors … after I have met my honest obligations with the Lord, than I can by neglecting the latter; and you can do the same. If you desire to prosper, and to be free men and women and a free people, first meet your just obligations to God, and then meet your obligations to your fellowmen.” (Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine, pp. 259-260)
“It was revealed to me in the commencement of this Church, that the Church would spread, prosper, grow and extend, and that in proportion to the spread of the Gospel among the nations of the earth, so would the power of Satan rise.” (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 13:280)
“This land is a land choice above all other lands, and God has blessed the people upon this land. He has fulfilled the words recorded in this book time and time again, that those who should come up to fight against the people of this land should not prosper.” (Heber J. Grant, Conference Report, Oct. 1899, p. 18)
