We are looked upon by God as though we were in eternity; God dwells in eternity, and does not view things as we do.
Joseph Smith, Jr.The Lord gave us power in proportion to the work to be done, and strength according to the race set before us, and grace and help as our needs required.
Joseph Smith, Jr.Shall we longer bear these cruelties which have been heaped upon us for the last ten years in the face of heaven, and in open violation of the constitution and law of these United States and of this state? God forbid! I will not bear it. If they take away my rights, I will fight for them manfully and righteously until I am used up. We have done nothing against the rights of others.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
