Quotes by Leonard J. Arrington

“The statue of Justice, symbol of the law, as she holds aloft her balance scale, is blindfolded. Justice is blind to race, creed, color – and to personal eccentricity. If there were a comparable state of Clio, the Muse of history, she would have to be presented with the blindfold lying at her feet, because the balance of her scales must be weighed with a conscious awareness of the facts and interpretations she must weigh.”
― Leonard J. Arrington, Brigham Young: American Moses

“I do not think we could determine the truth of what had happened in history by having the Quorum of the Twelve vote on it.”
