Fuimos predestinados en la existencia premortal y nacimos en la mortalidad para cumplir el convenio y la promesa que Dios hizo a Abraham.

• If you cloned JFK and Abraham Lincoln and made them president it wouldn't matter. Our system is just too corrupt and too broken. I think that science is corrupt and broken.

Get 'em to put their attention on what they intend to create, or on solutions.

Abraham Tucker complained that whenever his maid servant had been in his library, he could not see comfortably to work again for several days.
