More quotes by Brigham Young
If there ever comes a day when the Saints interfere with the rights of others to live as they see fit, you can know with assurance that the Church is no longer led by a Prophet, but a mere man.
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
I will tell you whom to vote for: We will vote for the principles of civil and religious liberty, the man who knows the most and who has the best heart and brain for a statesman and we do not care a farthing whether he is a Whig, a Democrat, a Barnburner, a Republican, or a New Light or anything else.
Brigham Young
When Joseph received the revelation that we have in our possession concerning the [baptism of the] dead, the subject was opened to him, not in full but in part... Then women were baptized for men and men for women, & c.
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
I honor and revere the name of Joseph Smith. I delight to hear it I love it. I love his doctrine. I feel like shouting Hallelujah, all the time, when I think that I ever knew Joseph Smith, the Prophet whom the Lord raised up. I am bold to say that, Jesus Christ excepted, no better man ever lived or does live upon this earth. I am his witness.
Brigham Young
Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned and I will go still further, and say that this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord had given, and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
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
This is the reason why the doctrine of plurality of wives was revealed, that the noble spirits who are waiting for tabernacles might be brought forth
Brigham Young
You educate a man you educate a man. You educate a woman you educate a generation.
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
See that your children are properly educated in the rudiments of their mother tongue, and then let them proceed to higher branches of learning.
Brigham Young
We want men to rule the nation who care more for and love better the nation's welfare than gold and silver, fame or popularity.
Brigham Young
I have known a great many men who have left this Church for whom there is no chance whatever for exaltation, but if their blood had been spilled, it would have been better for them. The wickedness and ignorance of the nations forbid this principle's being in full force, but the time will come when the law of God will be in full force.
Brigham Young
When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him.
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
Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test
Brigham Young
This is the greatest wealth we possess: to know how to direct our labors rightly.
Brigham Young
He is our Father - the Father of our Spirits, and was once a man in mortal flesh as we are, and is now an exalted being.
Brigham Young
The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like himself.
Brigham Young
