In my observation of your people and my analysis of their character I should judge that they are peculiarly en- dowed with the qualities of appreciation and gratitude. It has been a long and bitter school in which they have been taught the value of friendship, and the withering, bitter, unrelenting force of enmity. It is difficult even now to see, as in a few years it will be impossible for any fair man to see, how remorselessly and persistently prejudice and malice have followed you and your people in the crusade of over a generation against you. As intelligent and Christian people, however, you have that quality which is the most divine in human nature, the quality of forgiveness; and as I have watched this struggle year after year and seen how strangely things have come out, how your enemies
~ James Sullivan Clarkson
it is a strange part of human life that nearly everything that is dearest to us, most to be treasured, and most preservative of our liberty, comes to us dearly bought by suffering, sacrifice, and often longtime oppression. Nearly everything dear to human life has been gained along these high lines, where human endurance has been tested, where character and patience have been put to bitter test, and where all that is good and noble in a people has been developed under storm and trial.
~ James Sullivan Clarkson
Yours will be a very fortunate people as time shall come and different generations shall follow, if those who come after you shall prove as worthy, as true to everything that is right in human life and aspiration, as courageous in the performance of duty, as the strong and fearless men and women who first set up the standard of your Church in Utah and who so loyally and fearlessly upheld it in the first generations of your experience in the Rocky mountains
