QUOTE OF THE DAY
Brigham Young

"Every time they persecute and try to overcome this people, they elevate us, weaken their own hands, and strengthen the hands and arms of this people. . . . Righteousness and power with God increase in this people in proportion as the Devil struggles to destroy it" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, p. 265).
