More quotes by Joseph Smith, Jr.
Men of the present time testify of heaven and hell, and have never seen either.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
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.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
If I lose my life in a good cause I am willing to be sacrificed on the altar of virtue, righteousness and truth, in maintaining the laws and Constitution of the United States, if need be, for the general good of mankind.
Joseph Smith, Jr.

You might as well baptize a bag of sand as a man, if not done in view of the remission of sins and getting of the Holy Ghost. Baptism by water is but half a baptism, and is good for nothing without the other half-that is, baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
We ought at all times to be very careful that high-mindedness shall never have place in our hearts.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what power it has over my mind, while the opposite course has a tendency to harrow up all the harsh feelings and depress the human mind.
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.
Heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies, than we are ready to believe or receive.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
A man is saved no faster than he gains knowledge
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.
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.
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.
What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Therefore let the Saints be diligent in building the Temple, and all houses which they have been, or shall hereafter be, commanded of God to build and wait their time with patience in all meekness, faith, perseverance unto the end.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
No man can receive the Holy Ghost without receiving revelations. The Holy Ghost is a revelator.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
