Gems-Teachings: The Power of Truth
June 16, 1844
Nauvoo, Illinois
Joseph Smith
"When men open their lips against these truths they do not injure me, but injure themselves. . . . When things that are of the greatest importance are passed over by weak-minded men without even a thought, I want to see truth in all its bearings and hug it to my bosom. I believe all that God ever revealed, and I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are damned for unbelief."
( History of the Church, 6:477)
