More quotes by 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.
I never told you I was perfect but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught.
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.
The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead.

Joseph Smith, Jr.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
And the angel said unto me: Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity.
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.
Sectarian priests cry out concerning me, and ask, Why is it this babbler gains so many followers, and retains them? I answer, It is because I possess the principle of love. All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
All men are, or ought to be free, possessing unalienable rights, and the high and noble qualifications of the laws of nature and of self-preservation, to think, and act, and say as they please, while they maintain a due respect to the rights and privileges of all other creatures, infringing upon none.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
God sees the secret springs of human action, and knows the hearts of all living.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
If my life is of no value to my friends it is of none to myself.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
An angel of God never has wings.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
If you will stay with the majority of the Twelve Apostles, and the records of the Church, you will never be led astray.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Although I do wrong, I do not the wrongs that I am charged with doing the wrong that I do is through the frailty of human nature, like other men. No man lives without fault.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Will not the Lord hear my prayers and listen to my cries as soon as he ever did to theirs [the ancient saints'] if I come to him in the manner they did?
Joseph Smith, Jr.
