“Any of you who understand the principles of eternity, if you have sinned a sin requiring the shedding of blood, except the sin unto death, would not be satisfied or rest until your blood should be spilled, that you might gain the salvation you desire. That is the way to love mankind.”

Brigham Young – 8 February 1856, Journal of Discourses – Volume 4 (Liverpool, England: S.W. Richards, 1857), 220.
