Brother Kimball referred to Zion’s Camp going to Missouri. When I returned from that mission to Kirkland, a brother said to me, “Brother Brigham, what have you gained by this journey?” I replied, “Just what we went for; but I would not exchange the knowledge I have received this season for the whole of the Geauga County; for property and mines of wealth are not to be compared to the worth of knowledge.” Ask those brethren and sisters who have passed through scenes of affliction and suffering for years in the Church what they would take in exchange for their experience, and be placed back where they were, were it possible. I presume they would tell you that all the wealth, honors, and riches of the world could not buy the knowledge they had obtained, could they barter it away. Let the brethren be contented, if you have trials and must have hard times, learn to acknowledge the hand of the Lord in it all. He directs the affairs of this world… Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 2:1
