Account in The Book of Mormon
Some of the Lamanite army, led by Lehonti, had fled and gathered on the top of Mount Antipas to prepare for battle against Amalickiah, the Zoramite, who would later become the Lamanite king. Amalickiah's army camped in the valley near the mount and sent a secret embassy by night to talk with Lehonti. Because of the number of times that the embassy climbed to the top and descended back to the valley in a single night, the mount could not have been very tall. Eventually Amalickiah convinced Lehonti to meet and discuss a plan in which Lehonti's army descended the mount and surrounded the army of Amalickiah, but only if Lehonti made Amalickiah second in command to his army. All went as planned, and Lehonti's army surrounded Amalickiah's in the morning, and Lehonti made Amalickiah second in command. Amalickiah then slowly poisoned Lehonti until he was dead, and, being second in command, was made the leader of both armies. (Alma 47).

“I shall endeavour to enliven Morality with Wit, and to temper Wit with Morality, that my Readers may, if possible, both Ways find their Account in the Speculation of the Day.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“It is not more people that are needed in the world but better people, physically, morally and mentally. This question of raising the quality of our American population must also be taken into account in the question of immigration.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there—that of the pulse, the heart beat.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“I never understood exactly why people get engaged—The only time I ever did the most disastrous things happened—but I feel that there’s a great deal to be said for immediate matrimony always. If I once got started I’d probably have to become a mormon to cover my confusion. What I mean is that if he and she are crazy about each other it is sheer tempting God to stay apart, come what may. And if people arent crazy about each other being engaged wont help them.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
