It is for us to do those things which the Lord requires at our hands, and leave the result with him.

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

I don't care about my character here on earth.I don't care about what other people think or say about me, all I care about is my standing before the Lord.

It is a poor, unwise and very imbecile people who cannot take care of themselves.

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

The idea that the Lord our God is not a personage of tabernacle is entirely a mistaken notion. He was once a man. Brother Kimball quoted a saying of Joseph the Prophet, that he would not worship a God who had not a Father; and I do not know that he would if be had not a mother; the one would be as absurd as the other. If he had a Father, he was made in his likeness. And if he is our Father we are made after his image and likeness.

I never cared but for one thing, and that is, simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.
