I know what I say; I understand my mission and business. God Almighty is my shield; and what can man do if God is my friend?
Joseph Smith, Jr.When a man works by faith, he works by mental exertion instead of by physical force.
Joseph Smith, Jr.Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory!
Joseph Smith, Jr.You will see the constitution of the United States almost destroyed. It will hang like a thread.... A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America.... [T]he land will be left without a Supreme Government,... [Mormonism] will have gathered strength, sending out Elders to gather the honest in heart... to stand by the Constitution of the United States.... In these days... God will set up a Kingdom, never to be thrown down.... [T]he whole of America will be made the Zion of God.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
