Joseph Smith — "I have the Priesthood, and can administer in the ordinances of the Gospel."

"I will prophesy that the Saints will continue to suffer much affliction, and will be driven to and fro, from the east to the west, and from the north to the south, until they are purified."

"I am a man of charity, and I will extend charity to all men."

"And cursed shall be the seed of him that mixeth with their seed; for they shall be cursed even with the same cursing."

"I told them I was a Prophet of God, and had a right to obtain revelations, and that I should not be trammelled by men."

"I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors."
