Brigham Young
If any of you wish to know how to have your bread fall butter side up, butter it on both sides, and then it will fall butter side up.

Brigham Young

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
...

I believe the Father came down in His tabernacle and begat Jesus Christ.
Brigham Young

Brigham Young
Will you love your brothers or sisters likewise, when they have committed a sin that cannot be atoned for without the shedding of their blood? Will you love that man or woman well enough to shed their blood?
Brigham Young
