No man knows my history.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I could explain a hundred fold more than I ever have of the glories of the kingdoms manifested to me in the vision, were I permitted, and were the people prepared to receive them.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
Where doubt is, there faith has no power.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies, than we are ready to believe or receive.

The important consideration is not how long we can live but how well we can learn the lesson of life, and discharge our duties and obligations to God and to one another.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The Constitution should contain a provision that every officer of the Government who should neglect or refuse to extend the protection guaranteed in the Constitution should be subject to capital punishment and then the president of the United States would not say, Your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
This doctrine of polygamy, or spiritual wife-system, that has been taught and practiced among us, will prove our destruction and overthrow.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The Mayor, Aldermen and Councilors of the City of Nauvoo, IL, before entering upon the duties of their office, shall take and subscribe an oath or affirmation that they will support the Constitution of the United States, and of this State and that they will well and truly perform the duties of their offices to the best of their skill and abilities.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I told them I was but a man, and they must not expect me to be perfect if they expected perfection from me, I should expect it from them but if they would bear with my infirmities and the infirmities of the brethren, I would likewise bear with their infirmities.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Don't be limited in your views with regard to your neighbor's virtue...You must enlarge your soul towards each other.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I am tired of the misrepresentation, calumny and detraction, heaped upon me by wicked men and desire and claim, only those principles guaranteed to all men by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of Illinois.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
God judges men according to the use they make of the light which He gives them.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
It is one thing to see the kingdom of God, and another thing to enter into it. We must have a change of heart to see the kingdom of God, and subscribe the articles of adoption to enter therein.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Let us here observe, that a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things, never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I never thought it was right to call up a man and try him because he erred in doctrine, it looks too much like methodism and not like Latter day Saintism. Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be kicked out of their church. I want the liberty of believing as I please, it feels so good not to be tramelled.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
