More quotes by 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
While walking in a rapid stream we cannot tread twice in the same water. Neither can we spend twice the same time. When we pass out of that door, the work of this meeting will be closed to us forever. We shall never spend the time of this evening again. Then should we not keep a record of our work, teachings, and counsel.
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
If there was no other motive in view [except] to have the privilege of reading over our journals and for our children to read, it would pay for the time spent in writing it.
Wilford Woodruff
This manifesto only refers to future marriages, and does not affect past conditions.
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
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
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 have always looked upon the life of our Savior who descended beneath all things that He might rise above all things as an example for His followers.
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
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
It takes just as much to save a dead man as a living man.
Wilford Woodruff
It should be our chief study to treasure up the words of life that we may grow in grace and advance in the knowledge of God and become perfected in Christ Jesus, that we may receive a fullness and become heirs of God and joint heirs of Jesus Christ.
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
The moment a man or a woman becomes angry they show a great weakness.
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
I went before the Lord, and I wrote what the Lord told me to write . . . .
Wilford Woodruff
We are willing to stand by the revelations of God.
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.
