I believe in sisters marrying brothers, and brothers having their sisters for wives... This is something pertaining to our marriage relation. The whole world will think what an awful thing it is. What an awful thing it would be if the Mormons should just say we believe in marrying brothers and sisters.

Don't try to tear down other people's religion about their ears, Build up your own perfect structure of truth, and invite your listeners to enter in and enjoy it's glories.

We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do.

Our religion will not clash with nor contradict the facts of science in any particular.

When I look upon the faces of intelligent beings I look upon the image of the God I serve. There are none but what have a certain portion of divinity within them; and though we are clothed with bodies which are in the image of our God, yet this mortality shrinks before that portion of divinity which we inherit from our Father.

Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?

True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
