All we have to do is to go onward and upward, and keep the commandments of our Father and God; and he will confound our enemies.

We went west willingly--because we had to.

Why do we believe in and practice polygamy? Because the Lord introduced it to his servants in a revelation given to Joseph Smith, and the Lord's servants have always practiced it. 'And is that religion popular in heaven?' It is the only popular religion there.

All we have to do is to go onward and upward, and keep the commandments of our Father and God; and he will confound our enemies.

If I do not know the will of my Father, and what He requires of me in a certain transaction, if I ask Him to give me wisdom concerning any requirement in my life, or in regard to my own course, or that of my friends, my family, my children, or those that I preside over, and get no answer from Him, and then do the very best that my judgement will teach me, He is bound to own and honor that transaction, and He will do so to all intents and purposes.

Pray as if all depended on God and work as if all depended upon you.

It is bad enough to see young fools, but worse to see old fools.
