More quotes by Brigham Young
Learn to be good for something.
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
If any of you wish to know how to have your bread fall butter side up, butter it on both sides, and then it will fall butter side up.
Brigham Young
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
Brigham Young
Do not reject anything because it is new or strange, and do not sneer nor jeer at what comes from the Lord, for if we do, we endanger our salvation.
Brigham Young
He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary.
Brigham Young
I do not know of any, excepting the unpardonable sin, that is greater than the sin of ingratitude.
Brigham Young
They who secure eternal life are doers of the word as well as hearers
Brigham Young
God never made something out of nothing it is not in the economy or law by which the worlds were, are, or will exist
Brigham Young

Brigham Young
If your neighbors talk about you, and you think that they do wrong in speaking evil of you, do not let them know that your ever heard a word, and conduct yourselves as if they always did right, and it will mortify them, and they will say, We'll not try this game any longer.
Brigham Young
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
The government of heaven, if wickedly administered, would become one of the worst governments upon the face of the earth. No matter how good a government is, unless it is administered by righteous men, an evil government will be made of it.
Brigham Young
My mind becomes tired, and perhaps some of yours do. If so, go and exercise your bodies.
Brigham Young
There is not a man or woman, who violates the covenants made with their God, that will not be required to pay the debt. The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it . . .
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
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
Pray as if all depended on God and work as if all depended upon you.
Brigham Young
If you love the truth, you can remember it.
Brigham Young
When people learn to master their feelings, they can soon learn to master their reflections and thoughts in the degree requisite for attaining the objects they are seeking. But while they yield to a feeling or spirit that distracts their minds from a subject they wish to study and learn, so long they will never gain the mastery of their minds.
