Brigham Young Said

The laws of the Gospel are neither more nor less than a few of the principles of eternity revealed to the people, by which they can return to heaven from whence they came.

Brother Bywater remarked that he did not desire a man of God, when he arose to speak…to say, “Thus saith the Lord…” or “Thus saith Jesus Christ.” People who require this, or who constantly require written revelation, have not a correct conception of revelation and its Spirit.

He is the fountain whence all truth and wisdom flow; he is the fountain of all knowledge, and of every true principle that exists in heaven or on earth.

The religion that we have embraced must last a man from Monday morning until Monday morning, and from Saturday night until Saturday night, and from one new year until another; it must be in all our thoughts and words, in all our ways and dealings.

There is no mystery except to the ignorant.

Latter-day Saints should live their religion, as they would that their neighbors should live it.

We are determined to build up the kingdom of God on the earth; to bring forth Zion, to promote the cause of righteousness on the earth, and to walk under foot sin and wickedness.

If you wish a man to portray himself faithfully you must get him to talk, and I will insure that the organs of speech will show out the true state of the mind, sooner or later, and reveal the fruit of his heart. No man can hide it if he is allowed to talk.

Yes, Joseph Smith said, the Lord whispers to the spirit in the tabernacle the same as though it were out of it. That is correct and true.

The work is still onward and it is upward.

We have received these bodies for an exaltation, to be crowned with those who have been crowned with crowns of glory and eternal life.

There is only one way to obtain power and influence in the kingdom of God, and only one way to obtain foreknowledge, and that is to so live that that influence will come from our Creator, enlightening the mind and revealing things that are past, present and future.

There is no man can see, unless he sees by the gift and power of revelation, that every move that has been made by the Government has been made to fulfil the sayings of Joseph Smith the Prophet, and all earth and hell cannot help it.

[The Holy Ghost] is one of the three characters we believe in, whose office it is to administer to those of the human family who love the truth.

We must come to the conclusion that the Son of God did not suggest, dictate, act, or produce any manifestation of his power, of his glory, or of his errand upon the earth, only as it came from the mind and will of his Father.

Every person who does not sin away the day of grace, and become an angel to the Devil, will be brought forth to inherit a kingdom of glory.

Not a desire, act, wish, or thought does the Holy Ghost indulge in contrary to that which is dictated by the Father.

I feel to bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hearken to the counsel given to you, and we will do everything in our power to bring power and glory and honor to the Latter-day Saints.

The world have lost confidence in each other through transgression, and we must take a course to restore it among each other first, then it will extend to our friends, and … when Jesus rules, you will find the friendship and confidence … will be restored to them again.

We wish the Elders of Israel to understand that when evil is presented, that evil must be rebuked.
