Feeling entirely at home with persons of high or lowly rank [George Albert Smith] rejected the idea of class distinctions. When his friends urged him to meet someone because he was ‘a very important person’, George had a standard reply. “Of course he is,” he would say, “Everyone is important. I don’t think you can classify human beings on the basis of their importance. Some people may be more influential than others; some may be more capable, some more prominent, and some may have greater responsibilities than others, but no one is more important than anyone else.”
