Let no man break the laws of the land, for he that keepeth the laws of God hath no need to break the laws of the land.
Joseph Smith, Jr.The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead.
Joseph Smith, Jr.I had not been married scarcely five minutes, and made one proclamation of the Gospel, before it was reported that I had seven wives.... I am innocent of all these charges.... What a thing it is for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can only find one. I am the same man, and as innocent as I was fourteen years ago; and I can prove them all perjurers.
Joseph Smith, Jr.I would not have suffered my name to have been used by my friends on anywise as President of the United States, or candidate for that office, if I and my friends could have had the privilege of enjoying our religious and civil rights as American citizens, even those rights which the Constitution guarantees unto all her citizens alike.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
