Does anybody  have that famous quote by Parley P. Pratt about the Holy Ghost
and the  effect on someone who has the Holy Ghost?


 
The gift of the Holy Ghost adapts itself to all  these organs or attributes. 
It quickens all the intellectual faculties,  increases, enlarges, expands and 
purifies all the natural passions and  affections; and adapts them, by the 
gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It  inspires, develops, cultivates and 
matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys,  tastes, kindred feelings and 
affections of our nature. It inspires virtue,  kindness, goodness, tenderness, 
gentleness and charity. It develops beauty of  person, form and features. It tends to 
health, vigor, animation and social  feeling. It invigorates all the 
faculties of the physical and intellectual man.  It strengthens, and gives tone to the 
nerves. In short, it is, as it were,  marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, 
light to the eyes, music to the ears, and  life to the whole being. In the 
presence of such persons, one feels to enjoy the  light of their countenances, as 
the genial rays of a sunbeam. Their very  atmosphere diffuses a thrill, a warm 
glow of pure gladness and sympathy, to the  heart and nerves of others who 
have kindred feelings, or sympathy of  spirit. 
Parley P. Pratt, 
Key to the Science of Theology, p.  101
