Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
Let us have compassion upon each other, and let the strong tenderly nurse the weak into strength, and let those who can see guide the blind until they can see the way for themselves.
Brigham Young
Image
What we commonly call death does not destroy the body, it only causes a separation of spirit and body.
Brigham Young

Brigham Young
Image
You educate a man you educate a man. You educate a woman you educate a generation.
Brigham Young

The people must have amusement as well as religion...every pure enjoyment is from heaven.
Brigham Young
Image
Every time the enemy throws us off our guard, and we give way to temptation, he gains so much he weakens us and strengthens himself when we resist temptation, it strengthens the Saints and weakens the enemy.
