Charles W. Nibley Quotes & Sayings

I believe that it is my duty and your duty to teach our children concerning this great God-inspired Constitution, this great law of liberty which he has given to this world, and which was never given before to any nation in any land.

Republics have been tried, hundreds of times, thousands of years ago, but never was there anything like this Government. — Charles W. Nibley

There is no excellence anywhere without labor. We would think a man foolish indeed who would say, "I am willing that my business should prosper, or that my farm should yield plentifully, but I'll not stir a peg."

We must consistently rely upon the help of the Lord, but we will not make any progress or meet with any success unless we put forth an earnest effort. — Charles W. Nibley
