More quotes by Joseph Smith, Jr.
Truth does not appease but inflames the curiosity.
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.
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.
You don't know me you never knew my heart. No man knows my history. I cannot tell it: I shall never undertake it. I don't blame any one for not believing my history. If I had not experienced what I have, I would not have believed it myself.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

Noah came before the flood. I have come before the fire.
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.
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.
Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I combat the errors of ages I meet the violence of mobs I cope with illegal proceedings from executive authority I cut the gordian knot of powers, and I solve mathematical problems of universities, with truth-diamond truth and God is my 'right hand man'.
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.
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.
Every man should esteem his neighbor as himself.
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.
This doctrine of polygamy, or spiritual wife-system, that has been taught and practiced among us, will prove our destruction and overthrow.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
When we are accomplishing the good, the greatest opposition comes.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Shall we not go on in such great a cause?
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.

Whatever happens, the Lord is in it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
