We are looked upon by God as though we were in eternity; God dwells in eternity, and does not view things as we do.

To get salvation we must not only do some things, but everything which God has commanded...The object with me is to obey and teach others to obey God in just what he tells us to do. It mattereth not whether the principle is popular or unpopular; I will always maintain a true principle even if I stand alone in it.

It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound.

Come, all ye lovers of liberty, break the oppressor's rod, loose the iron grasp of mobocracy, and bring to condign punishment all those who trample under foot the glorious Constitution and the people's rights.

And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things" - 1 Nephi 16:29

Shall we not go on in such great a cause?

Therefore let the Saints be diligent in building the Temple, and all houses which they have been, or shall hereafter be, commanded of God to build; and wait their time with patience in all meekness, faith, perseverance unto the end.
