Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes

• El espíritu de Dios hablando al espíritu del hombre tiene el poder de impartir la verdad con mayor efecto y comprensión que la verdad puede ser impartida por contacto personal incluso con seres celestiales. Por medio del Espíritu Santo, la verdad se entreteje en la fibra misma y en los tendones del cuerpo para que no pueda ser olvidada.

• Satan has control now. No matter where you look, he is in control, even in our own land. He is guiding the governments as far as the Lord will permit him. That is why there is so much strife, turmoil, and confusion all over the earth. One master mind is governing the nations. It is not the president of the United States; it is not Hitler; it is not Mussolini; it is not the king or government of England or any other land; it is Satan himself.

• When messengers are sent to minister to the inhabitants of this earth, they are not strangers, but from the ranks of our kindred, friends, and fellow beings. Our fathers and mothers, brothers, sisters and friends who have passed away from this earth...bringing messages of love, warning, reproof and instruction, to those whom they had learned to love in the flesh.

• Hay una razón por la que un hombre nace negro y con otras desventajas, mientras que otro nace blanco con grandes ventajas. La razón es que una vez tuvimos un estado antes de venir aquí, y fuimos obedientes, más o menos, a las leyes que se nos dieron allí. Aquellos que fueron fieles en todo allí recibieron mayores bendiciones aquí, y aquellos que no fueron fieles recibieron menos...

• The mere stuffing of the mind with a knowledge of facts is not education. The mind must not only possess a knowledge of the truth, but the soul must revere it, cherish it, love it as a priceless gem; and this human life must be guided and shaped by it in order to fulfill its destiny.

• To do well those thing which God ordained to be the common lot of all man-kind, is the truest greatness. To be a successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful general or a successful statesman... We should never be discouraged in those daily tasks which God has ordained to the common lot of man... Let us not be trying to substitute an artificial life for the true one.

• NO HAY NEUTRALES EN EL CIELO No hubo neutrales en la guerra del cielo. Todos tomaron partido por Cristo o por Satanás.

El negro, evidentemente, está recibiendo la recompensa que merece...

• The Sabbath day has become a day of pleasure, a day of boisterous conduct, a day in which the worship of God has departed, and the worship of pleasure has taken its place. I am sorry to say that many of the Latter-day Saints are guilty of this. We should repent.

• Creemos que el culto es mucho más que la oración, la predicación y la representación del Evangelio. El acto supremo de adoración es guardar los mandamientos, seguir las huellas del Hijo de Dios, hacer siempre las cosas que le agradan. Una cosa es rendir culto al Señor de boquilla; otra muy distinta es respetar y honrar Su voluntad siguiendo el ejemplo que Él nos ha dado.

• We must believe in Christ and pattern our lives after him. We must be baptized as he was baptized. We must worship the Father as he did. We must do the will of the Father as he did. We must seek to do good and work righteousness as he did. He is our Exemplar, the great Prototype of salvation. . . . we must so live as to acquire the attributes of godliness and become the kind of people who can enjoy the glory and wonders of the celestial kingdom.

• CANNOT BELIEVE BOTH GOSPEL AND EVOLUTION. I say most emphatically, you cannot believe in this theory of the origin of man, and at the same time accept the plan of salvation as set forth by the Lord our God. You must choose the one and reject the other, for they are in direct conflict and there is a gulf separating them which is so great that it cannot be bridged, no matter how much one may try to do so.

• Procrastination, as it may be applied to Gospel principles, is the thief of eternal life - which is life in the presence of the Father and the Son. There are many among us, even members of the Church, who feel that there is no need for haste in the observance of Gospel principles and the keeping of the commandments.

• We accept without reservation the scriptural teachings that Christ is the Son of God and that he came into the world to ransom men from the spiritual and temporal death brought into the world by the fall of Adam. No one can state too plainly or emphasize too strongly this eternal truth that salvation is in Christ and that it comes because of his atoning sacrifice. Nor can we set forth too clearly the gospel truth that we also must do certain things to be saved.

• I feel most assuredly that our Father in heaven is far more interested in a soul-one of his children-than it is possible for an earthly father to be in one of his children. His love for us is greater than can be the love of an earthly parent for his offspring.
