Mormon philosopher , Prophet of God indeed encapsulates this powerful faithful man.
His biography is an interesting insight to the challenges of the early saints and growth of the church. I've grabbed a few quotes that provide some of the breadt h of his thought. He was an early embrace r of the philosophy of find what is good and true in the world and circle it within the gospel.

The kingdom of God or nothing
Unblemished record loyal obedience to prophetic direction and his conviction that exaltation is to be found only in submissive obedience to all of God's Commandments receive through or interpreted by the living Oracle
It is for us his fathers and mothers to go before the Lord and all humility and call upon him and his peace may be in our hearts wherein we have done wrong confess that wrong and run and repair it as far as we possibly can and forever cultivate the spirit of peace and love
When you allow everybody to worship as they please? Certainly. What? If you knew they were in error ? Certainly. I would not wish to control the human mind, I will not control the actions of men, God does not do it, he leaves them to their own agency to combat the trials, temptations, adversities and evils of every kind that are in the world to which humanity is or can be incident. He puts within their reach, however certain principles and would like to lead them to himself if they would be led. if not, then does the very best with them that he can.
Want to be alive in the cause of education. We are commanded of the Lord to obtain knowledge; both by study and by faith and seeking it out of the best books
I do not desire affliction ... But if earthquake bellows, the lightings flash the thunders roll, and the powers of darkness are let loose and the spirit of evil is permitted to rage , and an evil influence is brought to bear ... and my life is put to the test; let it come for we are the saints of the most high God all is well all is peace all is right and will be within time and in eternity
