“Mormonism” keeps men and women young and handsome; and when they are full of the Spirit of God, there are none of them but what will have a glow upon their countenances; and that is what makes you and me young; for the Spirit of God is with us and within us.

When brother Thomas thought of returning to the Church, the plurality of wives troubled him a good deal. Look at him. Do you think it need to? I do not; for I doubt whether he could get one wife. Why it should have troubled an infirm old man like him is not for me to say.
Maybe this is why I have problems with the church. I've never been exactly handsome, even when I was young. :D I am going to think of ways to bring up these quotes in the lesson.
This idea that the only thing that could possibly trouble a person about plural marriage is that he personally couldn't get himself a wife or a dozen kind of shows BY's level of morality. He just has no concept that a person could have moral principles that go beyond, "God said so." No understanding that it might violate someone's moral code or be harmful to women or children.

This quote absolutely demonstrates the kind of dick BY was but...I can't help but chuckle when I read it. It's a pretty sick burn. :oops:

It would really be fun to see Brigham Young and Donald Trump in a pissing match together. Which braggadocio would come out on top? Could a combo of both Melania and Ivanka do it for the Donald?
