From Joseph Smith Jr., “I showed them that it was generally in consequence of the brethren disregarding or disobeying counsel that they became dissatisfied and murmured; and many when they arrived here, were dissatisfied with the conduct of some of the Saints, because everything was not done perfectly right, and they get angry, and thus the devil gets advantage over them to destroy them. I told them that I was but a man, and they must not expect me to be perfect; if they expected perfection from me I should expect it from them; but if they would bear with my infirmities and the infirmities of the brethren, I would likewise bear with their infirmities. (HC<5:181;EJST, 471) (EJST=Encyclopedia of Joseph Smith’s Teachings)
