More quotes by Brigham Young
A lawyer's duty is to read the law well himself, then tell the people what it is, and let them act upon it.
Brigham Young
If I had the choice of educating a boy or a girl, I would educate the girl. If you educate a boy, you educate one, but if you educate a girl, you educate a generation.
Brigham Young
Every time the enemy throws us off our guard, and we give way to temptation, he gains so much he weakens us and strengthens himself when we resist temptation, it strengthens the Saints and weakens the enemy.
Brigham Young
Now, there is no harm in a teapot, even if it contains tea, if it is let alone.
Brigham Young
If I had a choice of educating my daughters or my sons because of opportunity constraints, I would choose to educate my daughters.
Brigham Young
I do not know of any, excepting the unpardonable sin, that is greater than the sin of ingratitude.
Brigham Young
When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him.
Brigham Young
I have known a great many men who have left this Church for whom there is no chance whatever for exaltation, but if their blood had been spilled, it would have been better for them. The wickedness and ignorance of the nations forbid this principle's being in full force, but the time will come when the law of God will be in full force.
Brigham Young
If I had forty wives in the United States, they did not know it, and could not substantiate it, neither did I ask any lawyer, judge, or magistrate for them. I live above the law, and so do this people.
Brigham Young
The men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle everyday.
Brigham Young
They who secure eternal life are doers of the word as well as hearers
Brigham Young
The present Constitution, with a few alterations of a trifling nature, is just as good as we want and if it is sustained on this land of Joseph, it will be done by us and our posterity.
Brigham Young
If you love the truth, you can remember it.
Brigham Young
I will tell you whom to vote for: We will vote for the principles of civil and religious liberty, the man who knows the most and who has the best heart and brain for a statesman and we do not care a farthing whether he is a Whig, a Democrat, a Barnburner, a Republican, or a New Light or anything else.
Brigham Young
We have not yet received our kingdoms, neither will we, until we have finished our work on earth . . . . Then he that has overcome and is found worthy, will be made a king of kings, a lord of lords over his own posterity, or in other words: A father of fathers.
Brigham Young
If your are ever called upon to chasten a person, never chasten beyond the balm you have within you to bind up.
Brigham Young
My mind becomes tired, and perhaps some of yours do. If so, go and exercise your bodies.
Brigham Young
In the beginning, after this earth was prepared for man, the Lord commenced his work upon what is now called the American continent, where the Garden of Eden was made. In the days of Noah, in the days of the floating of the ark, he took the people to another part of the earth the earth was divided, and there he set up his kingdom
Brigham Young
I honor and revere the name of Joseph Smith. I delight to hear it I love it. I love his doctrine. I feel like shouting Hallelujah, all the time, when I think that I ever knew Joseph Smith, the Prophet whom the Lord raised up. I am bold to say that, Jesus Christ excepted, no better man ever lived or does live upon this earth. I am his witness.
Brigham Young
Sin keeps a man from prayer, and prayer keeps a man from sin.
Brigham Young
