“We close the door on one side, and say that whoredoms, seductions and adulteries must not be committed amongst us, and we say to those who are determined to carry on such things we will kill you; at the same time we open the door in the other direction and make plural marriage honorable. What is the result? Why, a healthy, pure and virtuous community, a community which, in these respects, has no equal on the earth.”George Q. Cannon, August 15, 1869 · The Gospel of Jesus Christ Taught By the Latter-Day Saints—Celestial Marriage · JD 14:45-58
