Finding Weakness in Leaders

Brigham Young said of Joseph Smith, "Though I admitted in my feelings and knew all the time that Joseph was a human being and still subject to err, still it was none of my business to look after his faults....He was called of God; God dictated him, and if He had a mind to leave him to himself and let him commit an error, that was no business of mine....He was God's servant, and not mine."

Brigham Young, in Journal of Discourses,4:297 quoted in Oaks, "Criticism," 72.
