“We are now going to the Lamanites, to whom we intend to be messengers of instruction... We will show them that in consequence of their transgressions a curse has been inflicted upon them - in the darkness of their skins.

What an awful thing it would be if the Mormons should just say we believe in marrying brothers and sisters.”

“Mutability is the badge of infirmity. It is seldom that a man continues to wish and design the same thing two days alike. Now he is for marrying; and now a mistress is preferred to a wife.

Sometimes he is frugal and serious; at other times profuse, airy, and gay.”
