Mormons are an extraordinarily educated and professional population. They have all these virtues: They work hard, don't skip school, have no scandals. Consequently, you find them in a lot of consequential places.

I have thus given you a full statement of all that I know respecting the origin of Mormonism.

Mormons... are so strong, they can handle wealth, they are confident. I think it is because they are not bogged down by rules for equality, but have a firmly defined system of relative status and responsible command.

I'd been raised Mormon, but there comes a time where you are not following what you've been taught, but discovering for yourself if it's true.

Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed.

There is a lot of absurdity sometimes, not just in Mormonism but often in other religions that want to pretend that no bad happens in their church, rather than taking care of what bad does happen.

One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.

That's the dirty little secret of Mormon growth. Lots of baptisms don't necessarily translate into long-term membership.

Mormonism is not historic Christianity. When people say, 'Well, Mormons and Christians all believe the same things,' my response is, 'If that's true, why are they always on my front doorstep trying to convert me?'

I grew up Mormon. I wasn't really Mormon, my parents were.
