Brigham Young

1940

Joseph Smith: Perhaps it's time to show a different kind of courage... and do something besides being killed for what we believe.

Jonathan Kent: Gold. You know, next to the Lord and maybe the land, I reckon it's the most powerful thing there is.

Brigham Young: Indians can't be any worse than some Christians I know. But just the same, until we find a little more about them, we mean to trust in you, Lord, and keep our powder dry.

Porter Rockwell: Zigzag. That means he wants to talk peace. You zigzag out to meet him.

(an army officer tells the Mormons they must leave Illinois immediately because the law can't help them) Brigham Young: The law? What law? The law that let's a pack of scoundrels come in here and hunt us down like wild animals, burn our homes, ruin our crops, arrest our leader on trumped-up charges and then look the other way when a mob breaks in and murders him? If they call that law, let 'em keep it. We don't want any more of it!

Brigham Young: I'm not looking for an easy religion. I'm looking for one I can bring my family up decent in.

Jonathan Kent: Even though we might be the last wagon, we'd never be the first to fall out.

Mary Ann Young: You're dead set against California, aren't you? Brigham Young: You know human nature. Take a crowd of people to a place of milk and honey and in six months time, they won't be worth shooting.
