More quotes by 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
When we have a vision of what we can become, our desire and our power to act increase enormously.
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
Service is an imperative for those who worship Jesus Christ and a covenant obligation of those who belong to his Church.

The principles stated in the proclamation on the family are a beautiful expression of this gospel culture.
Dallin H. Oaks
We urge persons with same-gender attractions to control those and to refrain from acting upon them, which is a sin, just as we urge persons with heterosexual attractions to refrain from acting upon them until they have the opportunity for a marriage recognized by God as well as by the law of the land. That is the way to happiness and eternal life.

...A man is not required to run faster than he is able but it is a requirement to run.
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
Spirituality is not a function of occupation or calling. A scientist may be more spiritual than a theologian a teacher may be more spiritual than an officer. Spirituality is determined by personal outlook and priorities. It is evident in our words and actions.
Dallin H. Oaks
I just didn’t spend enough time with my job.
Dallin H. Oaks
I am unpersuaded that relative poverty and hard work are greater adversities than relative affluence and free time.
Dallin H. Oaks
The ultimate treasures on earth and in heaven are our children and our posterity.
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
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
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
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
The ultimate defining fact for all of us is that we are children of Heavenly Parents, born on this earth for a purpose, and born with a divine destiny.
Dallin H. Oaks
The most powerful teaching of children is by the example of their parents.
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
Forgiving is divine. Plead for the guidance of the Spirit of the Lord to forgive wrongs, to overcome faults, and to strengthen relationships.
