More quotes by Brigham Young
This is the greatest wealth we possess: to know how to direct our labors rightly.
Brigham Young
Let us seek to extend the present life to the uttermost by observing every law of health, and by properly balancing labor, study, rest and recreation.
Brigham Young
My mind becomes tired, and perhaps some of yours do. If so, go and exercise your bodies.
Brigham Young
Some would have us believe that God is present everywhere. It is not so
Brigham Young
... 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
How shall we know that we obey [God]? There is but one method by which we can know it, and that is by the inspiration of the Spirit of the Lord witnessing unto our spirit that we are His, that we love Him, and that He loves us. It is by the spirit of revelation we know this.
Brigham Young
Kind looks, kind actions, kind words, and a lovely, holy deportment towards them will bind our children to us with bands that cannot easily be broken while abuse and unkindness will drive them from us, and break asunder every holy tie that should bind them to us and to the everlasting covenant in which we are all embraced.
Brigham Young
People are not to be driven and you can put into a gnat’s eye all the souls of the children of men that are driven into heaven by preaching hell-fire.
Brigham Young
The people must have amusement as well as religion...every pure enjoyment is from heaven.
Brigham Young
If we lack confidence in each other, and be jealous of each other, our peace will be destroyed. If we cultivate the principles of unshaken confidence in each other, our joy will be full.
Brigham Young
Brother Cannon remarked that people wondered how many wives and children I had. He may inform them that I shall have wives and children by the million, and glory, and riches, and power, and dominion, and kingdom after kingdom, and reign triumphantly
Brigham Young
True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
Brigham Young
Anger should never be permitted to rise in our bosoms, and words suggested by angry feelings should never be permitted to pass our lips. 'A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger'.
Brigham Young
If I have one wish which is greater than another, it is, if I had the power, to make men do right to make them stop their swearing, their lying, their deceiving, to stop trying to injure the innocent, and begin to be honest and upright in all their dealings with one another and honor the name of the Deity.
Brigham Young
No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith...every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are
Brigham Young
Our faith is concentrated in the Son of God, and through him in the Father and the Holy Ghost is their minister to bring truths to our remembrance, to reveal new truths to us, and teach, guide, and direct the course of every mind, until we become perfected and prepared to go home, where we can see and converse with our Father in Heaven.
Brigham Young
Daily toil, however humble it may be, is our daily duty, and by doing it well, we make it a part of our daily worship.
Brigham Young
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
I have no wife whom I love so well that I would not put a javelin through her heart, and I would do it with clean hands.
Brigham Young
The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy
Brigham Young
