If they will let us alone, we will preach the Gospel; and if they do not, we will do it, and we will build up Zion, if all the devils in hell howl. Let us know that we have to build up Zion until the Spirit of peace shall overrule our country. – Brigham Young, […]

248. We are obligated to build Zion, Wilford Woodruff, 1876

233. Building Zion is Gods Will, John Taylor, 1879

216. Economic Independence, George A. Smith, 1862
I hope all that has been said by the brethren in reference to the culture of hemp, flax, indigo, and in fact all that will tend to build up Zion will be attended to, for let it be remembered that it is coming to this necessity of producing for ourselves or to go without, and […]

239. Economic Independence, Erastus Snow, 1877
How long do you think it would take if we were all producers, and converting the raw materials into useful articles, to become a self-sustaining people? And then if we heard of Babylon’s downfall, we would not of necessity lift up our hands and cry, “O Lord spare her a little longer, we are not […]

438. Co-ops are a Stepping Stone – John Taylor quote, 1879
