Every day is judgment day-use it.
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

The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy

What is the duty of a Latter-day Saint? To do all the good he can upon the earth.
Brigham Young

Gold and silver grow, and so does every other kind of metal, the same as the hair upon my head, or the wheat in the field they do not grow as fast, but they are all the time composing or decomposing
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
Image
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

He that confesseth not that Jesus has come in the flesh and sent Joseph Smith with the fullness of the Gospel to this generation, is not of God, but is anti-christ
Brigham Young

Daily toil, however humble it may be, is our daily duty, and by doing it well, we make it a part of our daily worship.

Learn to be good for something.
Brigham Young

Yes, polygamy is one of the relics of Adam, of Enoch, of Noah, of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob, of Moses, David, Solomon, the Prophets, of Jesus, and his apostles.
Brigham Young
Image
There is neither man or woman in this Church who is not on a mission. That mission will last as long as they live, and it is to do good, to promote righteousness, to teach the principles of truth, and to prevail upon themselves and everybody around them to live those principles that they may obtain eternal life
Brigham Young

It's better to die doing good than to live doing evil.
Brigham Young

You educate a man you educate a man. You educate a woman you educate a generation.

The men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle everyday.
Brigham Young
Image
Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?
Brigham Young
Image
I never cared but for one thing, and that is, simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.
