More quotes by Joseph Smith, Jr.
The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it.
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.
By proving contraries, truth is made manifest.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Governor Ford is sworn to support the Constitution of the United States and also of this State Illinois, and these constitutions guarantee religious as well as civil liberty to all religious societies whatever.
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.
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.
I made this my rule: When the Lord commands, do it.

Joseph Smith, Jr.

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.
One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God.
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.
I never told you I was perfect but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
My Brethren if thou endure thy trials well though shalt be exalted.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Let us this very day begin anew, and now say, with all our hearts, we will forsake our sins and be righteous.
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.
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.
