I feel like saying 'Damn the Law.'

No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, God will never desert us, He never has, and He never will.

When we are filled with the Spirit of God, we are filled with joy, with peace and with happiness no matter what our circumstances may be; for it is a spirit of cheerfulness and of happiness.

Children of polygamists besides being equally as bright and brighter intellectually, are much more healthy and strong.

The proper education of a man decides his welfare, but the interests of a whole family are secured by the correct education of a woman.

Your children....are like diamonds...they may need polish.. and education of the right kind will impart this lustre.

If plural marriage be divine, as the Latter-day Saints say it is, no power on earth can suppress it, unless you crush and destroy the entire people.

I am firmly of the opinion that a large number of unmarried men, over the age of 24 years, is a dangerous element in any community.

If I had not obeyed that command of God, concerning plural marriage, I believe that I would have been damned.

Desire is an appetite, quickly sated. Longing is a wound, an opening in the heart or the spirit. Whatever the cause, whatever the duration, it almost always leaves a scar.

There's no consciousness without senses and memories.

When a man suffers from delusions he is described as mad but when a million do so they belong to a world religion

I believe you make your day. You make your life.

Her strength was in the integrity of her actions; she never compromised what she believed she ought to do.

If people say you shouldn't pursue business around your passion they are haters. Don't believe them.

If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don't get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception.

Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe.

We wish nothing more, but we will accept nothing less. Masters in our own house we must be, but our house is the whole of Canada.

I didn't really feel 100 percent comfortable until we started working on the 2004 election.
