More quotes by Joseph Smith, Jr.
Surely I have contemplated the things of God.
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.
The constitution expects every man to do his duty and when he fails the law urges him or should he do too much the same master rebukes him.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies, than we are ready to believe or receive.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The Book of Mormon is true, just what it purports to be, and for this testimony I expect to give an account in the day of judgment.
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.
Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Sarah lied about me. I never made the offer which she said I did. I will not advise you to break up your family - unless it were asked of me. Then I would council you to get a bill from your wife and marry a virtuous woman - and a new family but if you do not do it I shall never throw it in your teeth.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I never told you I was perfect but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
If my life is of no value to my friends it is of none to myself.
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.
There are so many fools in the world for the devil to operate upon, it gives him the advantage oftentimes.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
When we are accomplishing the good, the greatest opposition comes.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things - 1 Nephi 16:29
Joseph Smith, Jr.
No man knows my history.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
A man is saved no faster than he gains knowledge
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Truth is Mormonism. God is the author of it.
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.
Where has the genius of the pedistal [sic] of the laws and constitution of our boasted country fled?
Joseph Smith, Jr.
