I recently read this quote by Brigham Young and it inspired me. So I put it together with this image. Here's a more extended version of the quote:
"The earth... was made for man; and one man was not made to trample his fellowman under his feet, and enjoy all his heart desires, while the thousands suffer. We will take a moral view, a political view, and see the inequality that exists in the human family... It is an unequal condition of mankind. We see servants that labor early and late, and that have not the opportunity of measuring the hours ten in twenty-four. They cannot go to school, nor hardly get clothing to go to meeting on the Sabbath. I have seen many cases of this kind in Europe, when the young lady would have to take her clothing on Saturday night and wash it, in order that she might go to meeting on the Sunday with a clean dress on. Who is she working for? For those who, many of them, are living in luxury. And to serve classes that are living on them, the poor laboring men and women are toiling, working their lives and to earn that which will keep a little life within them. Is this equality? No! What is to be done? The Latter-day Saints will never accomplish their mission until this inequality shall cease on the earth."
Journal of Discourses 19:46-47
