Joseph Smith, Jr.
When we are accomplishing the good, the greatest opposition comes.
Joseph Smith, Jr.

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.
If I revealed all that has been made known to me, scarcely a man on this stand would stay with me.' and 'Brethren, if I were to tell you all I know of the kingdom of God, I do know that you would rise up and kill me.

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.
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.
I never feel to force my doctrine upon any person I rejoice to see prejudice give way to truth, and the traditions of men dispersed by the pure principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
A man is saved no faster than he gains knowledge
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The important consideration is not how long we can live but how well we can learn the lesson of life, and discharge our duties and obligations to God and to one another.
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.
Whatever happens, the Lord is in it.
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.
By their complying with your request to leave they [the Saints in Clay County] are surrendering some of the dearest rights guaranteed in the Constitution of our country and that human nature can be driven to a certain extent when it will yield no further.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
May those principles, which were so honorably and nobly defended, namely, the Constitution of our land, by our fathers, be established forever.
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.
