More quotes by Brigham Young

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

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.
Brigham Young
