More quotes by Brigham Young
See that your children are properly educated in the rudiments of their mother tongue, and then let them proceed to higher branches of learning.
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
He is our Father - the Father of our Spirits, and was once a man in mortal flesh as we are, and is now an exalted being.
Brigham Young
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.
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
We want men to rule the nation who care more for and love better the nation's welfare than gold and silver, fame or popularity.
Brigham Young
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
What is the duty of a Latter-day Saint? To do all the good he can upon the earth.
Brigham Young
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary.
Brigham Young
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
Brigham Young
Which would you part with first -- your tobacco, your whiskey, or your religion?
Brigham Young
If the Devil says you cannot pray when you are angry, tell him it is none of his business, and pray until that species of insanity is dispelled and serenity is restored to the mind. (p. 175)
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
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
It is for us to do those things which the Lord requires at our hands, and leave the result with him.
Brigham Young
We need to learn, practice, study, know, and understand how angels live with each other. When this community comes to the point to be perfectly honest and upright, you will never find a poor person none will lack, all will have sufficient.
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
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
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
