Image
I never cared but for one thing, and that is, simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.

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

My business is to obey when the Lord commands, and this is the duty of all mankind.

Do you think that I am an old man? I could prove to this congregation that I am young for I could find more girls who would choose me for a husband than can carry any of the young men.
