More quotes by Brigham Young

How inconsistent and unreasonable this is!
Brigham Young

Brigham Young
A man who did not have but one wife in the Resurrection that woman will not be his but be taken from him & given to another.
Brigham Young
Will you stop drinking whiskey? Let me plead with you to do so. And if the sisters would not think it oppressive, I would ask them to not drink quite so much strong tea.
Brigham Young

I will tell you whom to vote for: We will vote for the principles of civil and religious liberty, the man who knows the most and who has the best heart and brain for a statesman and we do not care a farthing whether he is a Whig, a Democrat, a Barnburner, a Republican, or a New Light or anything else.
Brigham Young
Nature is the glass reflecting God, as by the sea reflected is the sun, too glorious to be gazed on in his sphere.
Brigham Young
If I had a choice of educating my daughters or my sons because of opportunity constraints, I would choose to educate my daughters.
