Man sleeps the sleep of death, but the spirit lives where the record of his deeds is kept - that does not die - man can not kill it;
there is no decay associated with it, and it still retains in all its vividness the remembrance of that which transpired before the
separation by death of the body and the ever-living spirit. Man sleeps for a time in the grave, and by-and-by he rises again from
the dead and goes to judgment; and then the secret thoughts of all men are revealed before Him with whom we have to do; we
cannot hide them; it would be vain for a man to say then, I did not do so-and-so; the command would be, Unravel and read the
record which he has made of himself, and let it testify in relation to these things, and all could gaze upon it. If a man has acted
fraudulently against his neighbor - has committed murder, or adultery, or anything else, and wants to cover it up, that record will
stare him in the face, he tells the story himself, and bears witness against himself.... It is not because somebody has seen things, or
heard anything by which a man will be judged and condemned, but it is because that record that is written by the man himself in the
tablets of his own mind - that record that cannot lie - will in that day be unfolded before God and angels, and those who shall sit as
judges.
John Taylor in Journal of Discourses, 11:78-79

Fairness is an eternal principle, not a temporal one - that's why this life may seem unfair at times, but you can be sure that things
will even out in the life to come.
