It is impossible to unite Christ and Baal -- their spirits cannot unite, their objects and purposes are entirely different the one leads to eternal life and exaltation, the other to death and final destruction.
Brigham Young
Image
If I have one wish which is greater than another, it is, if I had the power, to make men do right to make them stop their swearing, their lying, their deceiving, to stop trying to injure the innocent, and begin to be honest and upright in all their dealings with one another and honor the name of the Deity.

If you want to know what to do with a thief that you may find stealing, I say kill him on the spot, and never suffer him to commit another iniquity. I will prove by my works whether I can mete out justice to such persons, or not. I would consider it just as much my duty to do that, as to baptize a man for the remission of his sins.

Our faith is concentrated in the Son of God, and through him in the Father and the Holy Ghost is their minister to bring truths to our remembrance, to reveal new truths to us, and teach, guide, and direct the course of every mind, until we become perfected and prepared to go home, where we can see and converse with our Father in Heaven.
Brigham Young
Image
A man who did not have but one wife in the Resurrection that woman will not be his but be taken from him & given to another.
Brigham Young
Image
Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?
Brigham Young
Image
The Christian world, I discovered, was like the captain and crew of a vessel on the ocean without a compass, and tossed to and fro whithersoever the wind listed to blow them. When the light came to me, I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness
Brigham Young
Image
Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned and I will go still further, and say that this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord had given, and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young

There is neither man or woman in this Church who is not on a mission. That mission will last as long as they live, and it is to do good, to promote righteousness, to teach the principles of truth, and to prevail upon themselves and everybody around them to live those principles that they may obtain eternal life
