I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist; film was not. ↗

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. ↗

Examples is more forcible than precept. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh. ↗

The beauty of God is to be seen in the seventh plane as shown by God-the-Preceptor and then one becomes self-alone in the shape of his own identity and it is to be seen and heard from others. The thing must be taking place during the life-time of the seer of God and then all else will appear ephemeral. ↗

The way is long if one follows precepts, but short... if one follows patterns. ↗

I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book. ↗

No one can practice the precepts perfectly, including the Buddha... Boiled vegetables contain dead bacteria. We cannot practice the First Precept or any of the precepts perfectly. But because of the real danger in our society--alcoholism has destroyed so many families and has brought about much unhappiness--we have to do something. We have to live in a way that will eradicate that kind of damage. That is why even if you can be very healthy with one glass of wine every week, I still urge you with all my strength to abandon that glass of wine (76). ↗
