"I will not take the council of any man that lives on the Earth but God" Himself our Enemies are not at war with me but they are at war with God & his kingdom & the Holy Priesthood, & If I would renounce my Religion I could go into Camp Floyd or any whare in the world & be respected & treated kindly but I will not renounce my religion but I will maintain it while I live I care nothing about property or a good name among the world all I ask for is the favor of God & to do his will"
~ Brigham Young
