I feel like saying 'Damn the Law.'

You may talk about religion and speak about the Gospel, and say we have got the truth and the plan of salvation, and we have got the authority of the Priesthood; but if we are not honest, it does not amount to anything; for neither God nor honorable men love dishonesty. We must, therefore, be an honest people.

No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, God will never desert us, He never has, and He never will.

Your children....are like diamonds...they may need polish.. and education of the right kind will impart this lustre.

If I had not obeyed that command of God, concerning plural marriage, I believe that I would have been damned.

Do not allow darkness and gloom to enter into your hearts. I want to give you a rule by which you may know that the spirit which you have is the right spirit. The Spirit of God produces cheerfulness, joy, light and good feelings. Whenever you feel gloomy and despondent and are downcast, unless it be for your sins, you may know it is not the Spirit of God which you have. Fight against it and drive it out of your heart. The Spirit of God is a spirit of hope; it is not a spirit of gloom.
