L. Tom Perry

“Almost daily we read of those who invest for little return. We eat food so refined that the nourishment is lacking. We witness the drink that can never satisfy the thirst for those who drink; the dressing for style rather than for warmth, comfort, and modesty; the high wages of the wage earner today which still do not satisfy or supply his needs.”²
