If I had not actually got into this work and been called of God, I would back out. But I cannot back out: I have no doubt of the truth.
From Joseph Smith, Jr.
I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.
Never be discouraged. If I were sunk in the lowest pits of Nova Scotia, with the Rocky Mountains piled on me, I would hang on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage, and I would come out on top.
Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed.
One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.
Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none.
Every man who has a calling to minister to the inhabitants of the world was ordained to that very purpose in the Grand Council of heaven before this world was. I suppose I was ordained to this very office in that Grand Council.
What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.
Although I do wrong, I do not the wrongs that I am charged with doing; the wrong that I do is through the frailty of human nature, like other men. No man lives without fault.
I am not learned, but I have as good feelings as any man.
