Image
I combat the errors of ages I meet the violence of mobs I cope with illegal proceedings from executive authority I cut the gordian knot of powers, and I solve mathematical problems of universities, with truth-diamond truth and God is my 'right hand man'.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
The heads (Plural) of the Gods appointed one God for us and when you take that view of the subject, it sets one free to see all the beauty, holiness and perfection of the Gods.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me. Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land.

Trust in God, always take care of each other.

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.

Image
I am the greatest advocate of the Constitution of the United States there is on the earth. In my feelings I am always ready to die for the protection of the weak and oppressed in their just rights. The only fault I find with the Constitution is, it is not broad enough to cover the whole ground.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Salvation cannot come without revelation. Men of the present time testify of heaven and hell, and have never seen either and I will say that no man knows these things without this.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.
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.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Blessed be the memory of those few brethren who contended so strenuously for their constitutional rights and religious freedom, against such an overwhelming force of desperadoes!
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
The Constitution of our country [was] formed by the Fathers of liberty... Exalt the standard of Democracy! Down with that of priestcraft, and let all the people say Amen! that the blood of our fathers may not cry from the ground against us. Sacred is the memory of that blood which bought for us our liberty.

Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God.

May those principles, which were so honorably and nobly defended, namely, the Constitution of our land, by our fathers, be established forever.

If you will stay with the majority of the Twelve Apostles, and the records of the Church, you will never be led astray.

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.

The things of God are of deep import and time, and experience, and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts can only find them out.
