I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Second Nephi. Chapter Twenty-Three. Verse 12.
How great the wealth of Indus, flowing out beyond the seas,
is past the numbers of the ever active honey bees.
Plundered and then hoarded, yellow wedges from the East
have builded many palaces and fueled indulgent feast.
But just one man, if he be just and righteous to the core,
is worth more than the Inca's gold piled up in Ecuador!
Rare, indeed, and precious, is the soul that lacks all guile;
and God has promised such a one His own timeless stockpile.
