Joseph Smith

"Persecution has not stopped the progress of truth, but has only added fuel to the flame, it has spread with increasing rapidity. . . . No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done."
(History of the Church, 4:540)
