More quotes by Brigham Young
Take care of yourselves, and live as long as you can, and do all the good you can.
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
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
Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned and I will go still further, and say that this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord had given, and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young
It's better to die doing good than to live doing evil.
Brigham Young
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
When people learn to master their feelings, they can soon learn to master their reflections and thoughts in the degree requisite for attaining the objects they are seeking. But while they yield to a feeling or spirit that distracts their minds from a subject they wish to study and learn, so long they will never gain the mastery of their minds.
Brigham Young
The best remedy for anger is delay.
Brigham Young
The men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle everyday.
Brigham Young
When you ... see our Father, you will see a being with whom you have long been acquainted, and He will receive you into His arms, and you will be ready to fall into His embrace and kiss Him. ... You will be so glad and joyful. ... When you are qualified and purified, ... you can endure the glory of eternity.
Brigham Young
Never let a day pass that you will have cause to say, I will do better tomorrow.
Brigham Young
We need to learn, practice, study, know, and understand how angels live with each other. When this community comes to the point to be perfectly honest and upright, you will never find a poor person none will lack, all will have sufficient.
Brigham Young
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
When the Lord fights the battles of the saints, he does it so effectually that nobody gets nervous but the enemy
Brigham Young
He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary.
Brigham Young
Talk about polygamy! There is no true philosopher on the face of the earth but what will admit that such a system, properly carried out according to the order of heaven, is far superior to monogamy for the raising of healthy, robust children!
Brigham Young
Remember, a chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of wood higher up.
Brigham Young
We want men to rule the nation who care more for and love better the nation's welfare than gold and silver, fame or popularity.
Brigham Young
A man who did not have but one wife in the Resurrection that woman will not be his but be taken from him & given to another.
Brigham Young
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Brigham Young
