My Brethren if thou endure thy trials well though shalt be exalted.

Be wise; let prudence dictate all your counsels; preserve peace with all men, if possible; stand by the Constitution of your country; observe its principles; and above all, show yourselves men of God, worthy citizens.

Do not be discouraged on account of the greatness of the work; only be humble and faithful. . . . He who scattered Israel has promised to gather them; therefore inasmuch as you are to be instrumental in this great work, He will endow you with power, wisdom, might, and intelligence, and every qualification necessary.

If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves.

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

Where doubt is, there faith has no power.

Never give up an old tried friend, who has waded through all manner of toil, for your sake, and throw him away because fools may tell you he has some faults.
