Journal of Discourses Volume Three
| PREFACE | "Some may say, 'Brethren, you who lead the Church, we
have all confidence in you, we are not in the least afraid but what everything will go
right under your superintendence; all the business matters will be transacted right; and
if brother Brigham is satisfied with it, I am.' I do not wish any Latter-day Saint in this
world, nor in heaven, to be satisfied with anything I do, unless the Spirit of the Lord
Jesus Christ, the spirit of revelation, makes them satisfied. Every man and woman in this
kingdom ought to be satisfied with what we do, but they never should be satisfied without
asking the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, whether what we do is right." (Brigham
Young, Journal of Discourses 3:45, October 6, 1855) More Interesting quotes from JD Volume Three may be found at the end of the index. |

Other Interesting Quotes from Volume Three of the Journal of Discourses:
Though we have it in history that our father Adam was made of the dust of this earth, and that he knew nothing about his God previous to being made here, yet it is not so; and when we learn the truth we shall see and understand that he helped to make this world, and was the chief manager in that operation. He was the person who brought the animals and the seeds from other planets to this world, and brought a wife with him and stayed here. You may read and believe what you please as to what is found written in the Bible. Adam was made from the dust of an earth, but not from the dust of this earth. He was made as you and I are made, and no person was ever made upon any other principle.(Brigham Young, April 20, 1856 JD 3:316-318)
