As we commemorate Joseph Smith's Birthday here are some great quotes about his life:
Pres. Thomas S. Monson stated,"We do not worship the Prophet Joseph Smith; however he left behind a
legacy that enables [his] followers today on every continent to proclaim
him as a prophet of God. May we, each of us, strive to continue the Prophet
Joseph's vision for this work and to magnify his legacy through our works
and testimonies to others, that they may know him as we do and that they
may experience the peace and joy of the gospel he restored."
President George Albert Smith, who presided over the Church from 1945 to
1951, said,
"To my mind one of the strongest testimonies of the divinity of
the life of our Savior is the testimony of Joseph Smith who laid down his
life as a witness of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ."
Indeed, Joseph Smith was the Prophet of the Restoration of the gospel of
Jesus Christ in this dispensation. He is numbered among the prophets of the
ages who testified of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, whose birth we
commemorate during this season of the year.
