It is a startling Idea to think we are worshiping a God that once was once in the situation that we are in ourselves they had to pass through a probation of pain, suffering & the fall like ourselves & He made perfect through sufferings. The Son of God passed through it & the Father would not require of a son what He would not do Himself. All our sufferings will exhalt us in the presence of God if we endure them patiently.
~ Brigham Young
if all men would do right & were saints but the net has gathered all kinds good bad & worse let twelve men get drunk in this community & it ruins the place in the estimation of of good men we have to bear the character of the drunkard a few stinking fish in the net defile it. & the whole net stinks and it creates a prejudic against it.
~ Brigham Young
it is now but I say unto all men who are saints put to your hands & help build up Zion & the Kingdom of God we are scholars in the great school & must learn we are a kingdom & must bring the kingdom in subje[c]tion to the will of God
~ Wilford Woodruff

Jesus Christ is an ensam- ple to all Saints, He was filled with wisdom in his youth but in his childhood & infancy He was like other children. It has been said that He was in infancy wise as in manhood but this is not the case He was subject to temptation as we are but was not overcome by it.
~ Brigham Young
let us have compassion on others as we wish God to have compassion
~ Brigham Young
