More quotes by Dallin H. Oaks
Those who enjoy the blessings of liberty under a divinely inspired constitution should promote morality, and they should practice what the Founding Fathers called civic virtue.
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
There are people who oppose a federal Constitutional amendment because they think that the law of family should be made by the states. I can see a legitimate argument there. I think it's mistaken, however, because the federal government, through the decisions of life-tenured federal judges, has already taken over that area.
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
Alcohol is the number one addictive drug in our day.
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
I am unpersuaded that relative poverty and hard work are greater adversities than relative affluence and free time.
Dallin H. Oaks

Dallin H. Oaks
Fear not little flock do good let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail. . .Look unto me in every thought doubt not, fear not.
Dallin H. Oaks
You can never get enough of what you don't need, because what you don't need won't satisfy you.
Dallin H. Oaks
Pray that you will have good and correct attitudes about all your experiences - be they good or bad.
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
We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.

There is not a right and a wrong answer to every question.
