"It is a mistaken notion that wealth makes people happy. Cattle, sheep, houses, possessions would not bring you happiness. The scriptures tell us that he that hath eternal life is rich: and the Lord has told us to seek after the riches of eternal life" (John Taylor, The Gospel Kingdom, p. 266).
And now, I give unto the church in these parts a commandment, that certain men among them shall be appointed...and they shall look to the poor and the needy, and administer to their relief that they shall not suffer; ...And if ye seek the riches which it is the will of the Father to give unto you, ye shall be the richest of all people, for ye shall have the riches of eternity; and it must needs be that the riches of the earth are mine to give; but beware of pride, lest ye become as the Nephites of old. (D&C 38:34-39)
