Truth is Mormonism. God is the author of it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Afflictions, persecutions, imprisonments, and death, we must expect, according to the scriptures, which tell us that the blood of those whose souls were under the altar could not be avenged on them that dwell on the earth, until their brethren should be slain as they were.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
I made this my rule: When the Lord commands, do it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Eternity is full of thrones, upon which dwell thousands of children reigning on thrones of glory, with not one cubit added to their stature.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
The things of God are of deep import and time, and experience, and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts can only find them out.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
If there is trouble in the country, neither I nor my people made it, and all that we have ever done, after much endurance on our part, is to maintain and uphold the constitution and institutions of our country, and to protect an injured, innocent, and persecuted people against misrule and mob violence.

No man knows my history.

An angel of God never has wings.

Seek to know God in your closets, call upon him in the fields. Follow the directions of the Book of Mormon, and pray over, and for your families, your cattle, your flocks, your herds, your corn, and all things that you possess [see Alma 34:18-27] ask the blessing of God upon all your labors, and everything that you engage in.

Shall we not go on in such great a cause?
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
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.
Image
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.
Image
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.
Image
Let us this very day begin anew, and now say, with all our hearts, we will forsake our sins and be righteous.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Trust in God, always take care of each other.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
We are friendly to our country, and when we speak of the flag of our Union, we love it, and we love the rights the Constitution guarantees to every citizen. What did the Prophet Joseph say? When the Constitution shall be tottering we shall be the people to save it from the hand of the foe.

Surely I have contemplated the things of God.

Image
A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.

Image
I prophesy in the name of the Lord God of Israel, unless the United States redress the wrongs committed upon the Saints in the state of Missouri and punish the crimes committed by her officers that in a few years the government will be utterly overthrown and wasted, and there will not be so much as a potsherd left . . .

We have not enjoyed unmolested those rights which the constitution of the U.S.A. and our Charters grant.
