It is for us to do those things which the Lord requires at our hands, and leave the result with him.

It is difficult to find anything more healthy to drink than good cold water, such as flows down to us from springs and snows of our mountains. This is the beverage we should drink. It should be our drink at all times.
Brigham Young
Image
I never cared but for one thing, and that is, simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.

Talk about polygamy! There is no true philosopher on the face of the earth but what will admit that such a system, properly carried out according to the order of heaven, is far superior to monogamy for the raising of healthy, robust children!
Brigham Young

All that the Lord requires of us is strict obedience to the laws of life. All the sacrifice that the Lord asks of his people is strict obedience to our own covenants that we have made with our God, and that is to serve him with an undivided heart.
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
Some would have us believe that God is present everywhere. It is not so
Brigham Young
Image
People are not to be driven and you can put into a gnat’s eye all the souls of the children of men that are driven into heaven by preaching hell-fire.
Brigham Young
Image
The time will come that gold will hold no comparison in value to a bushel of wheat.
Brigham Young
Image
God himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end.
Brigham Young
Image
I love the Constitution and government of this land, but I hate the damned rascals that administer the government.
Brigham Young
Image
Mend it, fix it, make do, or do without.
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
'Mormonism' has made me all I am and the grace, the power, and the wisdom of God will make me all that I ever will be, either in time or in eternity.
