More quotes by Brigham Young

Image
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
Image
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
Image
If your are ever called upon to chasten a person, never chasten beyond the balm you have within you to bind up.
Brigham Young
Image
Sin keeps a man from prayer, and prayer keeps a man from sin.
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Some wise being organized my system, and gave me my capacity, put into my heart and brain something that delights, charms, and fills me with rapture at the sound of sweet music.
Brigham Young
Image
What we commonly call death does not destroy the body, it only causes a separation of spirit and body.
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
When the Lord fights the battles of the saints, he does it so effectually that nobody gets nervous but the enemy
Brigham Young
Image
Love the giver more than the gift.
Brigham Young
Image
Every time the enemy throws us off our guard, and we give way to temptation, he gains so much he weakens us and strengthens himself when we resist temptation, it strengthens the Saints and weakens the enemy.
Brigham Young
Image
It is difficult to find anything more healthy to drink than good cold water, such as flows down to us from springs and snows of our mountains. This is the beverage we should drink. It should be our drink at all times.
Brigham Young
Image
If we lack confidence in each other, and be jealous of each other, our peace will be destroyed. If we cultivate the principles of unshaken confidence in each other, our joy will be full.
Brigham Young
Image
The best remedy for anger is delay.
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
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
Image
If you love the truth, you can remember it.
Brigham Young
Image
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
