God judges men according to the use they make of the light which He gives them.

The things of God are of deep import; and time, and experience, and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts can only find them out.

We came to this earth that we might have a body and present it pure before God in the celestial kingdom. The great principle of happiness consists in having a body. The devil has no body, and herein is his punishment. He is pleased when he can obtain the tabernacle of man. . . . All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.

We don't ask any people to throw away any good they have got; we only ask them to come and get more. What if all the world should embrace this Gospel? They would then see eye to eye, and the blessings of God would be poured out upon the people, which is the desire of my whole soul.

God sees the secret springs of human action, and knows the hearts of all living.

Kindness is our religion.

I believe all that God ever revealed, and I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are damned for unbelief.
