More quotes by 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
If you are without bread, how much wisdom can you boast and of what real utility are your talents, if you cannot procure for yourselves and save against a day of scarcity those substances designed to sustain your natural lives?
Brigham Young
I believe in sisters marrying brothers, and brothers having their sisters for wives... This is something pertaining to our marriage relation. The whole world will think what an awful thing it is. What an awful thing it would be if the Mormons should just say we believe in marrying brothers and sisters.
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
This is the greatest wealth we possess: to know how to direct our labors rightly.
Brigham Young
You educate a man you educate a man. You educate a woman you educate a generation.
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
I expect to see the day when the Elders of Israel will protect and sustain civil and religious liberty and every Constitutional right bequeathed to us by our fathers, and spread these rights abroad in connection with the Gospel for the salvation of all nations. I shall see this whether I live or die.
Brigham Young
It's better to die doing good than to live doing evil.
Brigham Young
Prepare yourselves for two weeks from tomorrow and I will tell you now, that if you will tarry with your husbands, after I have set you free, you must bow down to it, and submit yourselves to the celestial law. You may go where you please, after two weeks from tomorrow but, remember, that I will not hear any more of this whining.
Brigham Young
My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them.
Brigham Young
This doctrine of baptism for the dead is a great doctrine, one of the most glorious doctrines that was ever revealed to the human family and there are light, power, glory, honor and immortality in it.
Brigham Young
If I had the choice of educating a boy or a girl, I would educate the girl. If you educate a boy, you educate one, but if you educate a girl, you educate a generation.
Brigham Young
Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test
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
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
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.
Brigham Young
Mend it, fix it, make do, or do without.
Brigham Young
Never let a day pass that you will have cause to say, I will do better tomorrow.
Brigham Young
I don't care about my character here on earth.I don't care about what other people think or say about me, all I care about is my standing before the Lord.
Brigham Young
