"Improvement belongs to the spirit and plan of the heavens. To improve in our minds, to increase in wisdom, knowledge and understanding, to gather every item of knowledge that we can in mechanism and in science of every description, respecting the earth, the object of the organizaion of the earth, the heavens, the heavenly bodies--all this is of Heaven, it is from God; but when a person or a people begin to dwindle, to lessen and to take the downward couse, they are going from heaven and heavenly things." (Discourses of Brigham Young)
