One day (we will) create worlds (and) people and govern them.

Spencer W. Kimball, Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of the Mormon Church, 1982.

"Desirable as is secular knowledge, one is not truly educated unless he has the spiritual with the secular. The secular knowledge is to be desired; the spiritual knowledge is an absolute necessity. We shall need all of the accumulated secular knowledge in order to create worlds and to furnish them, but only through the 'mysteries of God' and these hidden treasures of knowledge may we arrive at the place and condition where we may use that knowledge in creation and exaltation"

Spencer W. Kimball, Conference Reports, October 1968, p.131

"Each one of you has it within the realm of his possibility to develop a kingdom over which you will preside as its king and god. You will need to develop yourself and grow in ability and power and worthiness, to govern such a world with all of its people." (“. . . the Matter of Marriage”

address delivered at University of Utah Institute of Religion, 22 Oct. 1976
