Brigham Young
My mind becomes tired, and perhaps some of yours do. If so, go and exercise your bodies.
Brigham Young
Learn to be good for something.
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
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
If your neighbors talk about you, and you think that they do wrong in speaking evil of you, do not let them know that your ever heard a word, and conduct yourselves as if they always did right, and it will mortify them, and they will say, We'll not try this game any longer.
Brigham Young
The best remedy for anger is delay.
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
If your are ever called upon to chasten a person, never chasten beyond the balm you have within you to bind up.
Brigham Young
This doctrine of baptism for the dead is a great doctrine, one of the most glorious doctrines that was ever revealed to the human family and there are light, power, glory, honor and immortality in it.
Brigham Young
Every day is judgment day-use it.
Brigham Young
It is bad enough to see young fools, but worse to see old fools.
Brigham Young
Prepare yourselves for two weeks from tomorrow and I will tell you now, that if you will tarry with your husbands, after I have set you free, you must bow down to it, and submit yourselves to the celestial law. You may go where you please, after two weeks from tomorrow but, remember, that I will not hear any more of this whining.
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
When Joseph received the revelation that we have in our possession concerning the [baptism of the] dead, the subject was opened to him, not in full but in part... Then women were baptized for men and men for women, & c.
Brigham Young
Let us have compassion upon each other, and let the strong tenderly nurse the weak into strength, and let those who can see guide the blind until they can see the way for themselves.
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
You educate a man you educate a man. You educate a woman you educate a generation.
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
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
