More quotes by Brigham Young
If you wish to get rich, save what you get. A fool can earn money but it takes a wise man to save and dispose of it to his own advantage.
Brigham Young
If I had forty wives in the United States, they did not know it, and could not substantiate it, neither did I ask any lawyer, judge, or magistrate for them. I live above the law, and so do this people.
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
'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
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
We need to learn, practice, study, know, and understand how angels live with each other. When this community comes to the point to be perfectly honest and upright, you will never find a poor person none will lack, all will have sufficient.
Brigham Young
Mend it, fix it, make do, or do without.
Brigham Young
If you want to know what to do with a thief that you may find stealing, I say kill him on the spot, and never suffer him to commit another iniquity. I will prove by my works whether I can mete out justice to such persons, or not. I would consider it just as much my duty to do that, as to baptize a man for the remission of his sins.
Brigham Young
If you have a bad thought about yourself, tell it to go to hell because that is exactly where it came from.
Brigham Young
When you get up in the morning, before you suffer yourselves to eat one mouthful of food, call your wife and children together, bow down before the Lord, ask him to forgive your sins, and protect you through the day, to preserve you from temptation and all evil, to guide your steps aright.
Brigham Young
The present Constitution, with a few alterations of a trifling nature, is just as good as we want and if it is sustained on this land of Joseph, it will be done by us and our posterity.
Brigham Young
I arose and spoke substantially as follows: ... I love the government and the constitution of the United States, but I do not love the damned rascals who administer the government.
Brigham Young
To mind your own business incorporates the whole duty of man.
Brigham Young
The people must have amusement as well as religion...every pure enjoyment is from heaven.
Brigham Young
The Christian world, I discovered, was like the captain and crew of a vessel on the ocean without a compass, and tossed to and fro whithersoever the wind listed to blow them. When the light came to me, I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness
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
We went west willingly--because we had to.
Brigham Young
Learn to sustain yourselves lay up grain and flour, and save it against a day of scarcity.
Brigham Young
They who secure eternal life are doers of the word as well as hearers
Brigham Young
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
