Quotes

View selected quotes from this page in Wilford Woodruff's journal.

I wish to live untill I can see Zion redeemed & the centre stake built up & the saints of God sanctified Before the Lord. The people think if they were sealed up in the things of God they would loose sight of all Earthly things but this is not the case. If we can understand this to know the things of God & his ways would be to know how to till the Earth & to Manufacture all we want. There is no such thing as a kingdom without law. There is a Law that Governs & controlls all things. They controll the Elements to bring them together to supply us with Evry thing we need there is a system & Law to Evry Branch of knowledge, and if we ownly understood it we should know how to do any thing right that perfect system we should understand and carry out we have this system in spiritual things so must we become in temporal things
~ Brigham Young
