More quotes by 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 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.
Truth is Mormonism. God is the author of it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
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.
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.

Mormons can testify whether I am willing to lay down my life for a Mormon If it has been demonstrated that I have been willing to die for a Mormon I am bold to declare before heaven that I am just as ready to die for a Presbyterian, a baptist or any other denomination.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
We may continue to expect the enjoyment of all the blessings of civil and religious liberty, guaranteed by the Constitution. The citizens of Illinois have done themselves honor, in throwing the mantle of the Constitution over a persecuted and afflicted people.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
In your hands or that of any other person, so much power would, no doubt, be dangerous. I am the only man in the world whom it would be safe to trust with it. Remember, I am a prophet!
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.
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.
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.
The flavor of patriotism depends upon its habitat.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I made this my rule: When the Lord commands, do it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The secret of masonry is to keep a secret.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Men of the present time testify of heaven and hell, and have never seen either.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
We are looked upon by God as though we were in eternity God dwells in eternity, and does not view things as we do.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
