More quotes by Brigham Young
My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them.
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
Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test
Brigham Young
If you are without bread, how much wisdom can you boast and of what real utility are your talents, if you cannot procure for yourselves and save against a day of scarcity those substances designed to sustain your natural lives?
Brigham Young
My mind becomes tired, and perhaps some of yours do. If so, go and exercise your bodies.
Brigham Young
If we lack confidence in each other, and be jealous of each other, our peace will be destroyed. If we cultivate the principles of unshaken confidence in each other, our joy will be full.
Brigham Young
Can we fight against and subdue ourselves? That is the greatest difficulty we ever encountered, and the most arduous warfare we ever engaged in.
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
The people must have amusement as well as religion...every pure enjoyment is from heaven.
Brigham Young
If you wish to get rich, save what you get. A fool can earn money but it takes a wise man to save and dispose of it to his own advantage.
Brigham Young
Miracles, or those extraordinary manifestations of the power of god, are not for the unbeliever they are to console the Saints, and to strengthen and confirm the faith of those who love, fear, and serve God.
Brigham Young
The Constitution and laws of the United States resemble a theocracy more closely than any government now on the earth, or that ever has been, so far as we know, except the government of the children of Israel to the time when they elected a king.
Brigham Young
One thing is certain, wherever we go there is a proof that the people are keeping the commandments of the Lord, especially the first one -- to multiply and replenish the earth.
Brigham Young
When you ... see our Father, you will see a being with whom you have long been acquainted, and He will receive you into His arms, and you will be ready to fall into His embrace and kiss Him. ... You will be so glad and joyful. ... When you are qualified and purified, ... you can endure the glory of eternity.
Brigham Young
Kind looks, kind actions, kind words, and a lovely, holy deportment towards them will bind our children to us with bands that cannot easily be broken while abuse and unkindness will drive them from us, and break asunder every holy tie that should bind them to us and to the everlasting covenant in which we are all embraced.
Brigham Young
The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy
Brigham Young
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.
Brigham Young
There is no calling of God to man on earth but what brings with it the evidence of its authenticity.
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
Which would you part with first -- your tobacco, your whiskey, or your religion?
Brigham Young
