If you love the truth, you can remember it.

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

To gain the spiritual ascendancy over ourselves, and the influences with which we are surrounded, through a rigid course of self-discipline, is our first consideration, it is our first labor, before we can pave the way for our children to grow up without sin unto salvation.
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
My faith does not lead me to think the Lord will provide us with roast pig, bread already buttered, etc. He will provide us with the ability to raise the grain.
Brigham Young
Image
The men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle everyday.
Brigham Young
Image
There is no calling of God to man on earth but what brings with it the evidence of its authenticity.
