Brigham Young
The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy

Brigham Young
The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like himself.
Brigham Young

Brigham Young

Brigham Young
It's better to die doing good than to live doing evil.
Brigham Young
There is neither man or woman in this Church who is not on a mission. That mission will last as long as they live, and it is to do good, to promote righteousness, to teach the principles of truth, and to prevail upon themselves and everybody around them to live those principles that they may obtain eternal life
Brigham Young
We have not yet received our kingdoms, neither will we, until we have finished our work on earth . . . . Then he that has overcome and is found worthy, will be made a king of kings, a lord of lords over his own posterity, or in other words: A father of fathers.
Brigham Young
One thing is certain, wherever we go there is a proof that the people are keeping the commandments of the Lord, especially the first one -- to multiply and replenish the earth.
Brigham Young
