it is a wrong doctrin to always keep up a constant thinking this is the way I get through so much business. I will deal with fifty different subjects in an hour & when I get through I will think no more about any of them I can lie down & go to sleep in a minute & let my mind & Body rest & my business to dont fret or get a hurrying spirit for that wears the body.
~ Brigham Young
