More quotes by 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
Our lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen.
Dallin H. Oaks
All of us should banish hateful communications and practice civility for differences of opinion.
Dallin H. Oaks
Service is an imperative for those who worship Jesus Christ and a covenant obligation of those who belong to his Church.
Dallin H. Oaks
Man's laws cannot make moral what God has declared immoral
Dallin H. Oaks
I just didn’t spend enough time with my job.
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
We should seek after spiritual gifts. They can lead us to God. They can shield us from the power of the adversary. They can compensate for our inadequacies and repair our imperfections.
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
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
In the acquisition of Sacred knowledge, scholarship and reason are not alternatives to revelation. They are a means to an end, and the end is revelation from God.
Dallin H. Oaks
Having descended beneath it all, He is perfectly positioned to lift us.
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
Those who are used to a clergy take very lightly those who do not have a formal divinity degree: like Paul and Peter and James and John.
Dallin H. Oaks
The coup de grace which ends the patient's life altogether is quite equivalent to the drastic modification in the institution of marriage that would be brought on by same-gender marriage.
Dallin H. Oaks
Healing blessings come in many ways, each suited to our individual needs, as known to Him who loves us best. Sometimes a ‘healing’ cures our illness or lifts our burden. But sometimes we are ‘healed’ by being given strength or understanding or patience to bear the burdens placed upon us.
Dallin H. Oaks
I expect celibacy of any person that is not married.
Dallin H. Oaks
The principles stated in the proclamation on the family are a beautiful expression of this gospel culture.
Dallin H. Oaks
We should refrain from anything that seems to be a final judgment of any person...the Lord alone has the capacity to judge...And, in all of this we must remember the command to forgive.
Dallin H. Oaks
We are cast as combatants in the war between truth and error. There is no middle ground. We must stand up for truth, even while we practice tolerance and respect for beliefs and ideas different from our own and for the people who hold them.
Dallin H. Oaks
