Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About Animals

Resurrected Animals

So we see that the Lord intends to save, not only the earth and the heavens, not only man who dwells upon the earth, but all things which he has created. The animals, the fishes of the sea, the fowls of the air, as well as man, are to be recreated, or renewed, through the resurrection, for they too are living souls.

In Conference Report, October 1928, 100.


Kindness to Animals

The flesh of living creatures should be indulged in sparingly although there was no sin in the shedding of their blood when required for food. There is no inference in the scriptures that it is the privilege of men to slay birds or beasts or to catch fish wantonly. The Lord gave life to every creature, both the birds in the heavens, beasts on the earth, and fishes in the streams or seas. They also were commanded to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. It was intended that all creatures should be happy in their several elements. Therefore to take the life of these creatures wantonly is a sin before the Lord.

It is easy to destroy life, but who can restore it when it is taken? … Man should be more the friend and never an enemy to any living creature. The Lord placed them here.

Answers to Gospel Questions: The Classic Collection in One Volume, comp. Joseph Fielding Smith Jr., 5 vols. (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1957–1966), 4:43–44.

Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About the Atonement of Jesus Christ

Faith Centered in Christ

Our faith is centered in the Lord Jesus Christ, and through him in the Father. We believe in Christ, accept him as the Son of God, and have taken his name upon us in the waters of baptism.

In Conference Report, April 1970, 113.

Gethsemane

The driving of the nails into his hands and into the Savior’s feet was the least part of his suffering. We get into the habit, I think, of feeling, or thinking that his great suffering was being nailed to the cross and left to hang there. Well, that was a period in the world’s history when thousands of men suffered that way. So his suffering, so far as that is concerned, was not any more than the suffering of other men who have been so crucified.

What, then, was his great suffering? I wish we could impress this fact upon the minds of every member of this Church: His great suffering occurred before he ever went to the cross. It was in the Garden of Gethsemane, so the scriptures tell us, that blood oozed from every pore of his body; and in the extreme agony of his soul, he cried to his Father. It was not the nails driven into his hands and feet. Now do not ask me how that was done because I do not know. Nobody knows. All we know is that in some way he took upon himself that extreme penalty. He took upon him our transgressions, and paid a price, a price of torment.

Seek Ye Earnestly, comp. Joseph Fielding Smith Jr. (1970), 118–20.

Ladder Analogy

Let us illustrate: A man walking along the road happens to fall into a pit so deep and dark that he cannot climb to the surface and regain his freedom. How can he save himself from his predicament? Not by any exertions on his own part, for there is no means of escape in the pit. He calls for help, and some kindly disposed soul, hearing his cries for relief, hastens to his assistance and by lowering a ladder, gives to him the means by which he may climb again to the surface of the earth.

This was precisely the condition that Adam placed himself and his posterity in, when he partook of the forbidden fruit. All being together in the pit, none could gain the surface and relieve the others. The pit was banishment from the presence of the Lord and temporal death, the dissolution of the body. And all being subject to death, none could provide the means of escape.

Elijah the Prophet and His Mission and Salvation Universal (1957), 80–81.

The Savior comes along, not subject to that pit, and lowers the ladder. He comes down into the pit and makes it possible for us to use the ladder to escape.

“Principles of the Gospel: The Infinite Atonement—Redemption, Salvation, Exaltation,” 5.

Quotes About the Book of Mormon

Read Many Times

I have read [the Book of Mormon] many, many times. I have not read it enough. It still contains truths that I still may seek and find, for I have not mastered it, but I know it is true.

In Conference Report, October 1949, 89.

Read the Book of Mormon

No member of this Church can stand approved in the presence of God who has not seriously and carefully read the Book of Mormon.

In Conference Report, October 1961, 18.
Joseph Fielding Smith taught that a serious study of the Book of Mormon is important for Latter-day Saints.

Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About the Church

Service Organization

The Church and its agencies constitute in effect a service organization to help the family and the individual. Home teachers, priesthood leaders, and bishops are appointed to lead those with whom they labor to eternal life in our Father’s kingdom, and the auxiliary organizations are appointed to aid and assist in this great work of salvation.

“Use the Programs of the Church,” Improvement Era, Vol. 73, No. 10 (October 1970): 3.

Exists to Assist the Family

The Church organization really exists to assist the family and its members in reaching exaltation.

Joseph Fielding Smith, in “Message from the First Presidency,” Ensign, January 1971, inside front cover and page 1.

Quotes About Family

Most Important Organization

The family is the most important organization in time or in eternity. … It is the will of the Lord to strengthen and preserve the family unit.

“Counsel to the Saints and to the World,” Ensign, July 1972, 27.

Purpose of Creation

The thought comes to mind that notwithstanding the countless number of worlds and the great magnitude of many of them, they are a means to an end, and not the end itself. The Father is creating worlds for the purpose of peopling them—placing upon them his sons and his daughters. We are informed in section 76 of the Doctrine and Covenants, that by and through the Son of God, the “worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.” [D&C 76:24.]

In Conference Report, April 1923, 136.

Workshop of Human Character

The home … is the workshop where human characters are built and the manner in which they are formed depends upon the relationship existing between parents and the children. The home cannot be what it should be unless these relationships are of the proper character. Whether they are so or not depends, it is true, upon both parents and children, but much more upon parents. They must do their best.

“Our Children—‘The Loveliest Flowers from God’s Own Garden,’” Relief Society Magazine, January 1969, 6.

Quotes About the Holy Ghost

Impart Truth

The Spirit of God speaking to the spirit of man has power to impart truth with greater effect and understanding than the truth can be imparted by personal contact even with heavenly beings. Through the Holy Ghost the truth is woven into the very fibre and sinews of the body so that it cannot be forgotten.

Listen to Joseph Fielding Smith quotes about his testimony of Jesus Christ.

Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About Jesus Christ

Uppermost Truth

Let it be uppermost in your minds, now and at all times, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God who came into the world to lay down his life that we might live. That is the truth, and is fundamental. Upon that our faith is built.

In Conference Report, October 1921, 186.
An influential Joseph Fielding Smith quote discusses the importance of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pattern Our Lives on Christ

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.

“The Plan of Salvation,” Ensign, November 1971, 5.

Jesus Was God’s Son

The difference between our Savior and the rest of us is that we have had fathers who were mortal and therefore subject to death. Our Savior did not have a mortal Father and therefore death was subject to him. He had power to lay down his life and to take it again [see John 10:17–18], but we do not have power to lay down our lives and to take them again. It is through the atonement of Jesus Christ that we receive eternal life, through the resurrection of the dead and obedience to the principles of the gospel.

Personal correspondence, quoted in Doctrines of Salvation, ed. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1954–56), 1:28–29.

From Grace to Grace

Our Savior was a God before he was born into this world, and he brought with him that same status when he came here. He was as much a God when he was born into the world as he was before. But as far as this life is concerned it appears that he had to start just as all other children do and gain his knowledge line upon line. Luke says he “increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” [Luke 2:52.] John records that “he received not of the fulness at the first,” but had to progress “from grace to grace, until he received a fulness.” [D&C 93:13.]

Personal correspondence, quoted in Doctrines of Salvation, ed. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1954–56), 1:32–33.

Quotes About the Prophet Joseph

Two Themes

Two themes stand out uppermost always in my mind. That Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who was crucified for the sins of the world, and that Joseph Smith was a prophet called and appointed to usher in the dispensation of the fulness of times. That is my message to the world.

In Conference Report, April 1920, 108–9.

Jesus and Joseph

We link the names of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. Christ is the Lord; he worked out the atoning sacrifice; he is the resurrection and the life; through him all men are raised in immortality, while those who believe and obey his laws shall also gain eternal life.

Joseph Smith was a prophet, called in these last days to receive by revelation the saving truths of the gospel and to stand as a legal administrator, having power from on high, to administer the ordinances of the gospel.

In Conference Report, October 1970, 6.

Joseph Smith Leads to Jesus Christ

All who believe the teachings of Joseph Smith and labor in the course set by him shall come to a knowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was crucified for the sins of the world.

“The First Prophet of the Last Dispensation,” Ensign, August 1971, 7.

Learning and Study

Search for Spiritual Things

Everyone should learn something new every day. You all have inquiring minds and are seeking truth in many fields. I sincerely hope your greatest search is in the realm of spiritual things, because it is there that we are able to gain salvation and make the progress that leads to eternal life in our Father’s kingdom.

“The Most Important Knowledge,” Ensign, May 1971, 2.

Treasure Up the Word

It would be well if we would follow the counsel the Lord has given us, which is: “And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived.” [Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:37.] Treasuring up his word is far more than merely reading it. To treasure it one must not only read and study, but seek in humility and obedience to do the commandments given, and gain the inspiration which the Holy Spirit will impart.

“The Resurrection,” Improvement Era, (December 1942): 780.
Read more about how Joseph Fielding Smith influenced Latter-day Saint scripture study.

Knowledge of Temporal Things

The Lord … expects us to have knowledge of temporal things so we can care for ourselves temporally; so we can be of service to our fellowmen; and so we can take the gospel message to his other children throughout the world.

Address at the Logan Utah Institute of Religion, Jan. 10, 1971, 2, Church History Library.

Love and Kindness

Err on the Side of Love and Mercy

Remember, everyone has weaknesses, and there are at least two sides to every story. If you err in judgment, be sure you err on the side of love and mercy.

In Joseph Fielding Smith Jr. and John J. Stewart, The Life of Joseph Fielding Smith (1972), 10.
Joseph Fielding Smith encouraged Latter-day Saints to err on the side of mercy when considering the weaknesses of others.

Dignity and Divine Origin of Humans

I think if all men knew and understood who they are, and were aware of the divine source from whence they came, and of the infinite potential that is part of their inheritance, they would have feelings of kindness and kinship for each other that would change their whole way of living and bring peace on earth.

We believe in the dignity and divine origin of man. Our faith is founded on the fact that God is our Father, and that we are his children, and that all men are brothers and sisters in the same eternal family.

In Conference Report, April 1970, 4–5.

Solemn Duty

I believe it is our solemn duty to love one another, to believe in each other, to have faith in each other, that it is our duty to overlook the faults and the failings of each other, and not to magnify them in our own eyes nor before the eyes of the world.

In Conference Report, April 1915, 119.

Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About Marriage

Preparation for Exaltation

Nothing will prepare mankind for glory in the kingdom of God as readily as faithfulness to the marriage covenant. …

If properly received this covenant becomes the means of the greatest happiness. The greatest honor in this life, and in the life to come, honor, dominion and power in perfect love, are the blessings which come out of it. These blessings of eternal glory are held in reserve for those who are willing to abide in this and all other covenants of the Gospel.

“The Law of Chastity,” Improvement Era, Vol 34, No. 11 (September 1931): 643.

Unfaithful Spouses Can’t Deny Exaltation to the Faithful

No one can be deprived of exaltation who remains faithful. … An undeserving husband cannot prevent a faithful wife from an exaltation and vice versa.

Personal correspondence, quoted in Doctrines of Salvation, ed. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1954–56), 2:65.

Quotes About Other Faiths

Associate With Those Outside of the Church

Do not get the impression from what I have said that I feel that we should keep aloof from everybody outside of the Church and not associate with them. I have not said that, but I do want us to be consistent Latter-day Saints, and if the people of the world walk in darkness and sin and contrary to the will of the Lord, there is the place for us to draw the line.

“The Pearl of Great Price,” Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine, July 1930, 104.

Keep All the Good You Have

I am not unmindful that there are good and devout people among all sects, parties, and denominations, and they will be blessed and rewarded for all the good they do. But the fact remains that we alone have the fullness of those laws and ordinances which prepare men for the fullness of reward in the mansions above. And so we say to the good and noble, the upright and devout people everywhere: Keep all the good you have; cleave unto every true principle which is now yours; but come and partake of the further light and knowledge which that God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever is again pouring out upon his people.

“A Witness and a Blessing,” Ensign, June 1971, 109–110.

Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About Obedience

Happiness or Misery

The Lord intends that men shall be happy—that is his purpose—but men refuse to be happy and make themselves miserable, because they think their ways are better than God’s ways, and because of selfishness, greed, and the wickedness that is in their hearts; and that is the trouble with us today.

“A Warning Cry for Repentance,” 6; see also Doctrines of Salvation, ed. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1954–56), 3:35.

Walk in the Path

As servants of the Lord, our purpose is to walk in the path he has charted for us. We not only desire to do and say what will please him, but we seek so to live that our lives will be like his.

“Our Responsibilities as Priesthood Holders,” Ensign, June 1971, 50.

Quotes About the Millennium

Time for Labor

Instead of being a time of rest, the Millennium is to be a time for all to labor. Idleness will not be found, better methods will be employed, not so much time will be consumed in the daily pursuits and more time will be given to the things of the Kingdom. The saints will be kept busy in the temples which shall be built in all parts of the land. In fact, so busy will they be that the temples will be occupied most of the time.

Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013), 329–330.

Salvation for the Dead in the Millennium

It is our duty to save the dead and that work will continue during the Millennium until all are endowed and sealed who are entitled to this blessing.

In “Question Answered,” Deseret News, January 13, 1934, Church section, 8.

Plan of Salvation

God is Interested in His Children

The great work of the Father is to bring to pass the salvation of his children giving unto each that reward which each merits according to his works. 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.

In Conference Report, April 1923, 136.
A quote by Joseph Fielding Smith ponders the infinite love of our Father in Heaven.

Moral Agency

I am satisfied that our Father in heaven would, if it were possible, save all men and give unto them celestial glory, even the fulness of exaltation. But, he has given unto man his agency and man is under the necessity of obeying the truth according to that which is revealed in order to obtain the exaltation of the righteous.

In Conference Report, April 1923, 139.

Becoming Like God

Our Father in Heaven established a plan of salvation for his spirit children. This plan was designed to enable them to advance and progress until they obtain eternal life, which is the name of the kind of life our Father in Heaven lives. This plan is to enable the children of God to become like him and have the power and wisdom and knowledge which he possesses.

Address at the Logan Utah Institute of Religion, Jan. 10, 1971, 3.

Male and Female Created He Them

In Genesis we read:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: …

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” [Genesis 1:26–27.]

Is it not feasible to believe that female spirits were created in the image of a “Mother in Heaven”?

Answers to Gospel Questions, comp. Joseph Fielding Smith Jr., 5 vols. (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1957–66), 3:144.

Trials Can Result in Good

Life never was intended to be easy, but the Lord has promised that he will cause all trials and difficulties to result in our good.

“President Joseph Fielding Smith Speaks on the New MIA Theme,” New Era, September 1971, 40.

Becoming Perfect

I believe the Lord meant just what He said, that we should be perfect, as our Father in heaven is perfect. That will not come all at once, but line upon line and precept upon precept, example upon example, and even then not as long as we live in this mortal life, for we will have to go even beyond the grave before we reach that perfection and shall be like God.
But here we lay the foundation. Here is where we are taught these simple truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in this probationary state, to prepare us for that perfection.

In Conference Report, October 1941, 95.

Death is Essential

We came into this world to die. That was understood before we came here. It is part of the plan, all discussed and arranged long before men were placed upon the earth. … We were ready and willing to make that journey from the presence of God in the spirit world to the mortal world, here to suffer all that pertains to this life, its pleasures and its sorrows, and to die; and death is just as essential as birth.

In “Services for Miss Nell Sumsion,” Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine, Jan. 1938, 10–11.

Does the Journey Seem Long?

Does the journey seem long,

The path rugged and steep,

Are there briars and thorns on the way?

Do sharp stones cut your feet

As you struggle to rise

To the heights thro’ the heat of the day?

Is your heart faint and sad,

Your soul weary within,

As you toil ’neath your burden of care?

Does the load heavy seem

You are forced now to lift,

Is there no one your burden to share?

Let your heart be not faint

Now the journey’s begun;

There is One who still beckons to you.

So look upward in joy,

And take hold of his hand;

He will lead you to heights that are new.

A land holy and pure,

Where all trouble doth end,

And your life shall be free from all sin,

Where no tears shall be shed,

For no sorrows remain.

Take his hand and with him enter in.

“Does the Journey Seem Long,” Latter-day Saint Hymns (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1927), 144.

Personal Responsibility

Shoulder Our Own Responsibilities

It is so easy for humankind to blame somebody else for their own mistakes, and so easy for us, because of our human nature, to take credit when the thing that is accomplished is something that pleases and benefits. But we never want to shoulder a responsibility for our mistakes that do not please, and so we endeavor to place that kind of responsibility somewhere else and on others. … Let us shoulder our own responsibilities, and not endeavor to place them somewhere else.

In Conference Report, October 1932, 88.

Quotes About Prayer

Cultivate a Thankful Attitude

How careful we should be to cultivate, through the medium of a prayerful life, a thankful attitude. I believe that one of the greatest sins of which the inhabitants of the earth are guilty today is the sin of ingratitude, the want [or lack] of acknowledgment, on their part, of the Lord and his right to govern and control.

In Conference Report, October 1969, 110.

Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About Priesthood

This priesthood and these keys … have been given to each man who has been set apart as a member of the Council of the Twelve. But since they are the right of presidency, they can only be exercised in full by the senior apostle of God on earth, who is the president of the Church.

“Eternal Keys and the Right to Preside,” Ensign, July 1972, 87.

Quotes About Repentance by Joseph Fielding Smith

I’ve learned from my own experience that when you want to change, really want to change, you can do it.

“My Dear Young Fellow Workers,” New Era, January 1971, 5.

Sacrament

Consider the Sacrament Prayers

It is our duty to carefully and thoughtfully consider the nature of [the sacrament] prayers when we hear them offered in our meetings.

“Importance of the Sacrament Meeting,” Relief Society Magazine, October 1943, 591.

Commemorate the Atonement of Jesus Christ

We have been called upon to commemorate this great event [the Atonement of Jesus Christ] and to keep it in mind constantly. For this purpose we are called together once each week to partake of these emblems, witnessing that we do remember our Lord, that we are willing to take upon us his name and that we will keep his commandments. This covenant we are called upon to renew each week, and we cannot retain the Spirit of the Lord if we do not consistently comply with this commandment. If we love the Lord we will be present at these meetings in the spirit of worship and prayer, remembering the Lord and the covenant we are to renew each week through this sacrament as he has required it of us.

In Conference Report, October 1929, 61.

Quotes About Temples

Covenants

If we go into the temple we raise our hands and covenant that we will serve the Lord and observe his commandments and keep ourselves unspotted from the world. If we realize what we are doing then the endowment will be a protection to us all our lives—a protection which a man who does not go to the temple does not have.

“The Pearl of Great Price,” Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine, July 1930, 103.

Dedication

May I remind you that when we dedicate a house to the Lord, what we really do is dedicate ourselves to the Lord’s service, with a covenant that we shall use the house in the way he intends that it shall be used.

“Ogden Temple Dedicatory Prayer,” Ensign, March 1972, 6.
Joseph Fielding Smith taught that there is a close connection between dedicating temples and ourselves.

Prepare Children for Temple Marriage

I think we should strive with great zeal to prepare our children for temple marriage and then to keep the covenants made incident to that holy order of matrimony. And I have full confidence that if we go forward in faith and devotion on the Lord’s errand he will bless us in this and in all respects.

Ogden Cornerstone Laying Report, Journal History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7 September 1970, Church History Library, Salt Lake City, UT.

Joseph Fielding Smith Quotes About Women in the Church

Absolutely Necessary

The Relief Society … [is] absolutely necessary—we speak of it as an auxiliary, which means a help, but the Relief Society is more than that. It is needed.

“Relief Society—An Aid to the Priesthood,” Relief Society Magazine, January 1959, 4.

Women and Authority

While the sisters have not been given the Priesthood, it has not been conferred upon them, that does not mean that the Lord has not given unto them authority. Authority and Priesthood are two different things. A person may have authority given to him, or a sister to her, to do certain things in the Church that are binding and absolutely necessary for our salvation, such as the work that our sisters do in the House of the Lord. They have authority given unto them to do some great and wonderful things. … You can speak with authority, because the Lord has placed authority upon you. …

Today, our sisters take part in the various organizations that are assigned to them. They give service in the training of our youth, our children, and what they do is done by authority. … The work which they do is done by divine authority.

“Relief Society—an Aid to the Priesthood,” Relief Society Magazine, January 1959, 4–5.

Joseph Fielding Smith FAQ

What is Joseph Fielding Smith known for?

Joseph Fielding Smith is remembered for several reasons:

  • His prolific writings on Latter-day Saint beliefs and history were treated as definitive by members of the Church for many years.
