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

When you get up in the morning, before you suffer yourselves to eat one mouthful of food, call your wife and children together, bow down before the Lord, ask him to forgive your sins, and protect you through the day, to preserve you from temptation and all evil, to guide your steps aright.

If you want to know what to do with a thief that you may find stealing, I say kill him on the spot, and never suffer him to commit another iniquity.

No matter what your circumstances are, whether you are in prosperity or in adversity, you can learn from every person, transaction, and circumstance around you.
Brigham Young
Image
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
Image
If you want to know what to do with a thief that you may find stealing, I say kill him on the spot, and never suffer him to commit another iniquity. I will prove by my works whether I can mete out justice to such persons, or not. I would consider it just as much my duty to do that, as to baptize a man for the remission of his sins.
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
Image
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.
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
I find no fault with the Constitution or laws of our country, they are good enough. It is the abuse of those laws which I despise, and which God, good men and angels abhor.
