Salvation cannot come without revelation; it is in vain for anyone to minister without it. No man is a minister of Jesus Christ without being a Prophet. No man can be a minister of Jesus Christ except he has the testimony of Jesus; and this is the spirit of prophecy.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
A fanciful and flowery and heated imagination beware of; because the things of God are of deep import; and time, and experience, and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts can only find them out. Thy mind, O man! if thou wilt lead a soul unto salvation, must stretch as high as the utmost heavens, and search into and contemplate the darkest abyss, and the broad expanse of eternity—thou must commune with God.

Joseph Smith, Jr.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
A man is saved no faster than he gets knowledge.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
Let no man break the laws of the land, for he that keepeth the laws of God hath no need to break the laws of the land.

Joseph Smith, Jr.
