More quotes by Joseph Smith, Jr.
The exaltation and happiness of any community, goes hand in hand with the knowledge possessed by the people, when applied to laudable ends whereupon we can exclaim like the wise man righteousness exalteth a nation for righteousness embraces knowledge and knowledge is power.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The Constitution should contain a provision that every officer of the Government who should neglect or refuse to extend the protection guaranteed in the Constitution should be subject to capital punishment and then the president of the United States would not say, Your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you.
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.
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 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.
No man knows my history.

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.
If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
God judges men according to the use they make of the light which He gives them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Come, all ye lovers of liberty, break the oppressor's rod, loose the iron grasp of mobocracy, and bring to condign punishment all those who trample under foot the glorious Constitution and the people's rights.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Shall we not go on in such great a cause?
Joseph Smith, Jr.
That which has a beginning will surely have an end.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The nearer a person approaches the Lord, a greater power will be manifested by the adversary to prevent the accomplishment of His purposes.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
Even this nation (the US) will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground, and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
