I believe in sisters marrying brothers, and brothers having their sisters for wives... This is something pertaining to our marriage relation. The whole world will think what an awful thing it is. What an awful thing it would be if the Mormons should just say we believe in marrying brothers and sisters.

... I believe the Father came down from heaven, as the apostles said he did, and begat the Saviour of the world for he is the ONLY-begotten of the Father, which could not be if the Father did not actually beget him in person.... I believe the Father came down in His tabernacle and begat Jesus Christ.

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.
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.
Brigham Young
Image
I expect to see the day when the Elders of Israel will protect and sustain civil and religious liberty and every Constitutional right bequeathed to us by our fathers, and spread these rights abroad in connection with the Gospel for the salvation of all nations. I shall see this whether I live or die.

I love the Constitution and government of this land, but I hate the damned rascals that administer the government.
