“Although I do wrong, I do not the wrongs that I am charged with doing; the wrong…” — Joseph Smith, Jr.

I am not learned, but I have as good feelings as any man.

It is my meditation all the day, and more than my meat and drink, to know how I shall make the Saints of God comprehend the visions that roll like an overflowing surge before my mind.

If I had not actually got into this work and been called of God, I would back out. But I cannot back out: I have no doubt of the truth.

Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed.
