More quotes by Brigham Young
To be damned is to be banished from, or be deprived of living in the presence of the Father and the Son. Who will live with him? They [who] will come up and inherit the highest glory that is prepared for the faithful.
Brigham Young
True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
Brigham Young
Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?
Brigham Young
Can we fight against and subdue ourselves? That is the greatest difficulty we ever encountered, and the most arduous warfare we ever engaged in.
Brigham Young
How shall we know that we obey [God]? There is but one method by which we can know it, and that is by the inspiration of the Spirit of the Lord witnessing unto our spirit that we are His, that we love Him, and that He loves us. It is by the spirit of revelation we know this.
Brigham Young
There is neither man or woman in this Church who is not on a mission. That mission will last as long as they live, and it is to do good, to promote righteousness, to teach the principles of truth, and to prevail upon themselves and everybody around them to live those principles that they may obtain eternal life
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
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
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
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Brigham Young
Let us seek to extend the present life to the uttermost by observing every law of health, and by properly balancing labor, study, rest and recreation.
Brigham Young
My mind becomes tired, and perhaps some of yours do. If so, go and exercise your bodies.
Brigham Young
The present Constitution, with a few alterations of a trifling nature, is just as good as we want and if it is sustained on this land of Joseph, it will be done by us and our posterity.
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
We have not yet received our kingdoms, neither will we, until we have finished our work on earth . . . . Then he that has overcome and is found worthy, will be made a king of kings, a lord of lords over his own posterity, or in other words: A father of fathers.
Brigham Young
We went west willingly--because we had to.
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
I arose and spoke substantially as follows: ... I love the government and the constitution of the United States, but I do not love the damned rascals who administer the government.
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
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.
