JOHN TAYLOR
"God is looking upon us and has called us to be saviors upon Mount Zion. And what does a savior mean? It means a person who saves somebody. Would we be saviors if we did not have somebody? I think not. Could we save anyone if we did not build temples? No, we could not; for God would not accept our offerings and sacrifices." John Taylor, August 289, 1881 Journal of Discourses, 22:308
"Others are operating with us, I mean all the men of God who ever lived, and they are as much interested was we are, and a good deal more, for they know more, and 'they without us cannot be made perfect,' neither can we be perfected without them. We are building temples for them and for their posterity, and we are going to operate these temples, as we have done heretofore for the welfare of their posterity.
