I don't care about my character here on earth.I don't care about what other people think or say about me, all I care about is my standing before the Lord.
Brigham Young
Image
This is the greatest wealth we possess: to know how to direct our labors rightly.

Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test
Brigham Young
Image
Fear arises from the weakness of the flesh over which the devil has power.
Brigham Young
Image
We have not yet received our kingdoms, neither will we, until we have finished our work on earth . . . . Then he that has overcome and is found worthy, will be made a king of kings, a lord of lords over his own posterity, or in other words: A father of fathers.
Brigham Young
Image
If you are without bread, how much wisdom can you boast and of what real utility are your talents, if you cannot procure for yourselves and save against a day of scarcity those substances designed to sustain your natural lives?

There is no calling of God to man on earth but what brings with it the evidence of its authenticity.
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
My mind becomes tired, and perhaps some of yours do. If so, go and exercise your bodies.
Brigham Young
Image
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
Image
Children need directing and teaching what is right in a kind, affectionate manner How often we see parents demand obedience, good behavior, kind words, pleasant looks, a sweet voice and a bright eye from a child or children when they themselves are full of bitterness and scolding! How inconsistent and unreasonable this is!
Brigham Young
Image
I do not know of any, excepting the unpardonable sin, that is greater than the sin of ingratitude.
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
The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy
Brigham Young
Image
They who secure eternal life are doers of the word as well as hearers
Brigham Young
Image
My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them.
Brigham Young
Image
The time will come that gold will hold no comparison in value to a bushel of wheat.
Brigham Young
Image
... I believe the Father came down from heaven, as the apostles said he did, and begat the Saviour of the world for he is the ONLY-begotten of the Father, which could not be if the Father did not actually beget him in person.... I believe the Father came down in His tabernacle and begat Jesus Christ.
Brigham Young
Image
I have no wife whom I love so well that I would not put a javelin through her heart, and I would do it with clean hands.
Brigham Young

If there ever comes a day when the Saints interfere with the rights of others to live as they see fit, you can know with assurance that the Church is no longer led by a Prophet, but a mere man.
