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
Image
Some would have us believe that God is present everywhere. It is not so
Brigham Young

Brother Cannon remarked that people wondered how many wives and children I had. He may inform them that I shall have wives and children by the million, and glory, and riches, and power, and dominion, and kingdom after kingdom, and reign triumphantly

The people must have amusement as well as religion...every pure enjoyment is from heaven.
Brigham Young

When all the other children of Adam have had the privilege of receiving the Priesthood, and of coming into the kingdom of God, and of being redeemed from the four quarters of the earth, and HAVE RECEIVED THEIR RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD, then it will be time enough to remove the curse from Cain and his posterity.

People are not to be driven and you can put into a gnat’s eye all the souls of the children of men that are driven into heaven by preaching hell-fire.
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.

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.
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
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
Image
True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?
Brigham Young
Image
In the days of Joseph [Smith] it was considered a great privilege to be permitted to speak to a member of Congress, but twenty-six years will not pass away before the Elders of this Church will be as much thought of as the kings on their thrones.
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
You educate a man you educate a man. You educate a woman you educate a generation.
Brigham Young
Image
Every day is judgment day-use it.
Brigham Young

My business is to obey when the Lord commands, and this is the duty of all mankind.
Brigham Young

The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like himself.
