"If
I were to tell you that in your own back yard you could find an acre of
diamonds, would you ignore the suggestion and take no trouble to search? Today,
I am telling you that in easy reach there is a prize of inestimable worth.
Diamonds can buy one food and shelter. Diamonds can sparkle and glitter.
Diamonds can embellish and decorate. But the prize which is within your grasp
is more brilliant than jewels. It will not tarnish nor be subject to market
trends. I speak of the greatest gift—the gift of eternal life. It may not be
obtained through mere wishing; it cannot be purchased with money; hopeful
wishing will not bring it, but it is available to men and women the world over.
There have been long periods of history when the total truth was not
immediately available to the inhabitants of the earth. But in our day, the
whole eternal program is here and can carry men to exaltation and eternal life
all the way to Godhood."
Spencer
W. Kimball, Conference Report, April 1964, pp. 93-99
