More quotes by 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.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
A question may be asked, 'Will mothers have their children in eternity?' Yes! Yes! Mothers, you shall have your children.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Repentance is a thing that cannot be trifled with every day. Daily transgression and daily repentance is not that which is pleasing in the sight of God.
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.
Happiness is the object and design of our existence and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
When we are accomplishing the good, the greatest opposition comes.
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.

Will not the Lord hear my prayers and listen to my cries as soon as he ever did to theirs [the ancient saints'] if I come to him in the manner they did?
