This is the greatest wealth we possess: to know how to direct our labors rightly.
Brigham Young
Image
They who secure eternal life are doers of the word as well as hearers
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
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

When the Lord fights the battles of the saints, he does it so effectually that nobody gets nervous but the enemy
Brigham Young

It is bad enough to see young fools, but worse to see old fools.

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.

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

God himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end.
Brigham Young
Image
Nature is the glass reflecting God, as by the sea reflected is the sun, too glorious to be gazed on in his sphere.
Brigham Young
Image
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

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.

Every day is judgment day-use it.
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
You educate a man you educate a man. You educate a woman you educate a generation.
Brigham Young
Image
I do not know of any, excepting the unpardonable sin, that is greater than the sin of ingratitude.
Brigham Young
Image
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

Love the giver more than the gift.
Brigham Young
Image
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.
