"To quarry the stone, workmen cut a row of channels ten or twelve inches apart and then set an iron wedge in each. As the wedge was struck, the rock would split. ---Karl Anderson

"The Church was too few in numbers . . . and too poor in purse to attempt such a mighty enterprise. . . . Joseph [labored] in the stone quarry, quarrying rock with his own hands, and the few then in the Church, follow[ed] his example of obedience, and diligence, wherever most needed; with laborers on the walls, holding the sword in one hand to protect themselves from the mob, while they placed the stone and moved the trowel with the other." --Brigham Young
