“I feel impelled by the Spirit of the Lord to urge my sisters who profess godliness to cherish modesty of deportment and a becoming reserve, ‘with shamefacedness and sobriety.’ [1 Timothy 2:9.] The liberties allowed in these corrupt times should be no criterion for Christ’s followers.” (Page 131)
“He has spread before him the products of the earth,—a bountiful variety of food that is palatable to the taste and nutritious to the system. Of these our benevolent heavenly Father says we may freely eat. Fruits, grains, and vegetables, prepared in a simple way, free from spice and grease of all kinds, make, with milk or cream, the most healthful diet. They impart nourishment to the body, and give a power of endurance and a vigor of intellect that are not produced by a stimulating diet.” (Page 47)
“eat fruit with the meals, and the irritation that calls for so much drink will cease to exist.” (Page 51)
“Only one lease of life is granted us; and the inquiry with every one should be, ‘How can I invest my powers so that they may yield the greatest profit? How can I do most for the glory of God and the benefit of my fellow-men?’ For life is valuable only as it is used for the attainment of these ends.” (Page 41)
“It is impossible for a man to present his body a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, while continuing to indulge habits that are depriving him of physical, mental, and moral vigor.” (Page 11)
