Dallin H. Oaks
We are overcome by the cares ... of this life when we are paralyzed by fear of the future, which hinders our going forward in faith, trusting in God and His promises. It is up to each of us to set the priorities and to do the things that make our soil good and our harvest plentiful.
Dallin H. Oaks

Dallin H. Oaks
When all other hope is gone, our Father in Heaven provides the Lamb of God, and we are saved by his sacrifice.
Dallin H. Oaks
The distinction between feelings or inclinations on the one hand, and behavior on the other hand, is very clear. It's no sin to have inclinations that if yielded to would produce behavior that would be a transgression. The sin is in yielding to temptation. Temptation is not unique. Even the Savior was tempted.
Dallin H. Oaks
President Lorenzo Snow declared that it is the grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint . . . to have the manifestations of the spirit every day of our lives.
Dallin H. Oaks
I say, choose faith. Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism.
Dallin H. Oaks
All of us should banish hateful communications and practice civility for differences of opinion.
Dallin H. Oaks
Service that is given with little or no thought of personal advantage is an ideal to pursue for a lifetime.
Dallin H. Oaks
