freedom believe america
We believe in enjoying the constitutional privilege and right of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own consciences.
believe men lovely
We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
believe blame ifs
I don't blame anyone for not believing me, if I had not experienced it myself, I would not have believed it myself.
believe men too-much
I believe all that God ever revealed, and I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are damned for unbelief.
believe sacrifice men
When a man has offered in sacrifice all that he has for the truth’s sake, not even withholding his life, and believing before God that he has been called to make this sacrifice because he seeks to do his will, he does know, most assuredly, that God does and will accept his sacrifice and offering, and that he has not, nor will not seek his face in vain.
believe heart men
You don't know me; you never knew my heart. No man knows my history. I cannot tell it: I shall never undertake it. I don't blame any one for not believing my history. If I had not experienced what I have, I would not have believed it myself. I never did harm any man since I was born in the world. My voice is always for peace.
father believe views
Heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies, than we are ready to believe or receive.
believe men church
I never thought it was right to call up a man and try him because he erred in doctrine, it looks too much like methodism and not like Latter day Saintism. Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be kicked out of their church. I want the liberty of believing as I please, it feels so good not to be tramelled.
love water bread
It is a time-honored adage that love begats love...cast your bread upon the waters and ye shall receive it after many days, increased to a hundredfold.

Kindness is our religion.
constitution-of-the-united-states standards glorious
We say, that the Constitution of the United States is a glorious standard; it is founded in the wisdom of God.

We're not just building a Temple here, the Lord is building us.
freedom america rights
We have not enjoyed unmolested those rights which the constitution of the U.S.A. and our Charters grant.
freedom fighting rights
Shall we longer bear these cruelties which have been heaped upon us for the last ten years in the face of heaven, and in open violation of the constitution and law of these United States and of this state? God forbid! I will not bear it. If they take away my rights, I will fight for them manfully and righteously until I am used up. We have done nothing against the rights of others.
