Infants were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth

"The Lord takes many away, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soon have them again."

- Joseph Smith, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, (2011), 171–81
