And men my prophet wail deride!
Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, but presently prevent the ways to wail.
I want to say something to you men. You cannot destroy the appointment of a prophet of God, but you can cut the thread that binds you to the prophet of God, and sink yourselves to hell.
We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies
In early Islam, it was an absolute tenet that the prophet was not to be worshipped. The prophet was a messenger. And one of the things that's happened in Islam is this cult of the prophet, which to my view is counter to the original tradition.
Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.
Men more quickly and more gladly recall what they deride than what they approve and esteem.
The prophet who misses it occasionally in his prophecies may be ignorant, immature, or presumptuous, or he may be ministering with too much zeal and too little wisdom and anointing. But this does not prove him a false prophet. It is certainly possible for a true prophet to be inaccurate.
"President Monson, I may never see the Prophet. I may never hear the Prophet. But President, far better, now that I am a member of this Church, I can obey the Prophet."
An unusual thing happened after that great first vision. The Prophet Joseph received no additional communication for three years. However, he did not wonder, he did not question, he did not doubt the Lord. The Prophet Joseph patiently waited. The Prophet Joseph taught us the principle of patience-by example.
The prophet himself stands under the judgment which he preaches. If he does not know that, he is a false prophet.
Learn the lesson that, if you are to do the work of a prophet, what you want is not a sceptre, but a hoe. The prophet does not rise to reign, but to root out the weeds.
The Book of Mormon is a second witness of Jesus Christ and a manifestation of the truthfulness of the Prophet Joseph Smith. I love the Prophet Joseph. I love President Gordon B. Hinckley, who is the prophet of God and holds all the keys of the kingdom at this time, keys which prophets have held in uninterrupted succession since Joseph Smith.
Philosophers conceive of the passions which harass us as vices into which men fall by their own fault, and, therefore, generally deride, bewail, or blame them, or execrate them, if they wish to seem unusually pious.
Men standing in opposite hemispheres will converse and deride each other and embrace each other, and understand each other's language.
The paradox of the prophet: his very success is his failure. The prophet whose time has come no longer shocks; he entertains.
According to the world standards, following the prophet may be unpopular, politically incorrect or socially unacceptable, but following the prophet is always right.
