Quote

“I think I'd like to repeat something I've told many times, as a guide to some of these younger men. It was an expression of advice of my own grandfather, for whom I was named. He said there's a line of demarcation well defined between the Lord's territory and the devil's territory. He said, if you will stay on the Lord's side of the line, the adversary cannot come near to tempt you. You're perfectly safe from him, as long as you stay on the Lord's side of the line. But he said, if you cross onto the devil's side of the line, you're in his territory, and you're in his power. And he will work on you, get you just as far from that line as he possibly can, knowing that he can succeed only in destroying you by keeping you away from the place where there is safety.”

⁠— George Albert Smith
