More quotes by Brigham Young
Every day is judgment day-use it.
Brigham Young
'Mormonism' has made me all I am and the grace, the power, and the wisdom of God will make me all that I ever will be, either in time or in eternity.
Brigham Young
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
The men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle everyday.
Brigham Young
In the days of Joseph [Smith] it was considered a great privilege to be permitted to speak to a member of Congress, but twenty-six years will not pass away before the Elders of this Church will be as much thought of as the kings on their thrones.
Brigham Young
When man desires to live as long as a tree, his diet will be fruit.
Brigham Young
When people learn to master their feelings, they can soon learn to master their reflections and thoughts in the degree requisite for attaining the objects they are seeking. But while they yield to a feeling or spirit that distracts their minds from a subject they wish to study and learn, so long they will never gain the mastery of their minds.
Brigham Young
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Brigham Young
Don't try to tear down other people's religion about their ears, Build up your own perfect structure of truth, and invite your listeners to enter in and enjoy it's glories.
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
Love the giver more than the gift.
Brigham Young
We went west willingly--because we had to.
Brigham Young
I don't care about my character here on earth.I don't care about what other people think or say about me, all I care about is my standing before the Lord.
Brigham Young
God himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end.
Brigham Young
Talk about polygamy! There is no true philosopher on the face of the earth but what will admit that such a system, properly carried out according to the order of heaven, is far superior to monogamy for the raising of healthy, robust children!
Brigham Young
I expect to see the day when the Elders of Israel will protect and sustain civil and religious liberty and every Constitutional right bequeathed to us by our fathers, and spread these rights abroad in connection with the Gospel for the salvation of all nations. I shall see this whether I live or die.
Brigham Young
Anger should never be permitted to rise in our bosoms, and words suggested by angry feelings should never be permitted to pass our lips. 'A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger'.
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
Our education should be such as to improve our minds and fit us for increased usefulness to make us of greater service to the human family.
Brigham Young
Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test
