More quotes by Wilford Woodruff
I went before the Lord, and I wrote what the Lord told me to write . . . .
Wilford Woodruff
Those men who laid the foundation of this American government and signed he Declaration of Independence were the best spirits the God of heaven could find on the face of the earth. They were choice spirits . . . noble spirits before God.
Wilford Woodruff
Do not be discouraged because you cannot learn all at once learn one thing at a time, learn it well, and treasure it up, then learn another truth and treasure that up, and in a few years you will have a great store of useful knowledge.
Wilford Woodruff
If we are going to do away with polygamy, it would only be one feather in the bird, one ordinance in the Church and Kingdom. Do away with that, then we must do away with the prophets and apostles, with revelation and the gifts and graces of the Gospel, and finally give up our religion altogether.
Wilford Woodruff
It takes just as much to save a dead man as a living man.
Wilford Woodruff
Trust in God. Do your duty. Remember your prayers. Get faith in the Lord, and take hold and build up Zion. All will be right.
Wilford Woodruff
There never was a set of men since God made the world under a stronger responsibility to warn this generation, to lift up our voices long and loud, day and night as far as we have the opportunity and declare the words of God unto this generation. We are required to do this. This is our calling. It is our duty. It is our business.
Wilford Woodruff
The Lord never had - and never will have to the end of time - a church on the earth without prophets, apostles, and inspired men. Whenever the Lord had a people on the earth that he acknowledged as such, that people were led by revelation.
Wilford Woodruff
I wish to say to the Latter-day Saints, all that we have to do is be faithful, to keep His commandments, to be humble, to seek Him in mighty prayer, and all will be well with us.
Wilford Woodruff
Should we not have respect enough to God to make a record of those blessings which He pours out upon us and our official acts which we do in His name upon the face of the earth? I think we should.
Wilford Woodruff
I was in Nauvoo on the 26th of May, 1846, for the last time, and left the city of the Saints feeling that most likely I was taking a final farewell of Nauvoo for this life. I looked upon the temple and city as they receded from view and asked the Lord to remember the sacrifices of His Saints.
Wilford Woodruff
This manifesto only refers to future marriages, and does not affect past conditions.
Wilford Woodruff
The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as president of this church to lead you astray.
Wilford Woodruff
The Lamanites [Native Americans], now a down-trodden people, are a remnant of the house of Israel. The curse of God has followed them as it has done the Jews, though the Jews have not been darkened in their skin as have the Lamanites.
Wilford Woodruff
When mourning the loss of our departed friends, I cannot help but think that in every death there is a birth the spirit leaves the body dead to us, and passes to the other side of the veil alive to that great and noble company that are also working for the accomplishment of the purpose of God, in the redemption and salvation of a fallen world.
Wilford Woodruff
When we get into the spirit world, and the veil is withdrawn, we shall then perhaps understand the whys and wherefores.
Wilford Woodruff
You may have the administration of angels, you may see many miracles . . . but I claim that the gift of the Holy Ghost is the greatest gift that can be bestowed upon man.
Wilford Woodruff
We are not apt to think of the importance of events as they transpire with us, but we feel the importance of them afterwards.
Wilford Woodruff
There is nothing in my teachings to the Church or in those of my associates, during the time specified, which can be reasonably construed to inculate or encourage polygamy... And I now publicly declare that my advice to the Latter-day Saints is to refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by the law of the land.
Wilford Woodruff
We are willing to stand by the revelations of God.
Wilford Woodruff
