More quotes by 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
Every teaching position, every missionary position can be held by single people. We welcome to that kind of service people who are struggling with any kind of temptation when the struggle is a good struggle and they are living so as to be appropriate teachers, or missionaries, or whatever the calling may be.
Dallin H. Oaks
It is not enough that we are under call or even that we are going in the right direction. The timing must be right.
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
When we have a vision of what we can become, our desire and our power to act increase enormously.

Our lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen.
Dallin H. Oaks
Everyone has some challenges they have to struggle with.
Dallin H. Oaks
Our priorities are most visible in how we use our time. Someone has said, “Three things never come back—the spent arrow, the spoken word, and the lost opportunity.” We cannot recycle or save the time allotted to us each day. With time, we have only one opportunity for choice, and then it is gone forever.
Dallin H. Oaks
Loving-kindness is required, but a follower of Christ-just like the Master-will be firm in the truth.
Dallin H. Oaks
I am unpersuaded that relative poverty and hard work are greater adversities than relative affluence and free time.
Dallin H. Oaks
Our society is not held together primarily by law and its enforcement but most importantly by those who voluntarily obey the unenforceable because of their internalized norms of righteous or correct behavior. Religious belief in right and wrong is a vital influence to produce such voluntary compliance by a large number of our citizens.
Dallin H. Oaks
As children of God, knowing of His great love and His ultimate knowledge of what is best for our eternal welfare, we trust in Him. The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and faith means trust.
Dallin H. Oaks
Priesthood power blesses all of us. Priesthood keys direct women as well as men, and priesthood ordinances and priesthood authority pertain to women as well as men.
Dallin H. Oaks
We should recognize the reality that just because something is good is not sufficient reason for doing it. The number of good things we can do far exceeds the time available to accomplish them.
Dallin H. Oaks
God loves all of His children. He has provided a plan for His children to enjoy the choicest blessings that He has to offer in eternity. Those choicest blessings are associated with marriage between a man and a woman by appropriate priesthood authority to bring together a family unit for creation and happiness in this life and in the life to come.
Dallin H. Oaks
It is Christ's atonement that makes it possible for us to be forgiven of our sins and His resurrection that gives us the assurance of immortality and the life to come. It is that life to come that orients our views in mortality and reinforces our determination to live the laws of God so that we can qualify for His blessings in immortality.
Dallin H. Oaks
It's wrong to criticize leaders of the Church, even if the criticism is true.
Dallin H. Oaks
It's amazing how much you can get done if you don't worry about who gets the credit.
Dallin H. Oaks
If you are trying to live with and maintain ascendancy over same-gender attractions, the best way to do that is to have groups that define their members in terms other than same-gender attractions.
Dallin H. Oaks
Our spirits...require nourishment. Just as there is food for the body, there is food for the spirit. The consequences of spiritual malnutrition are just as hurtful to our spiritual lives as physical malnutrition is to our physical bodies.
