The principles stated in the proclamation on the family are a beautiful expression of this gospel culture.
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
Young people, if you honor your fathers, you will love them, respect them, confide in them, be considerate of them, express appreciation for them, and demonstrate all of these things by following their counsel in righteousness and by obeying the commandments of God.
Dallin H. Oaks
Service that is given with little or no thought of personal advantage is an ideal to pursue for a lifetime.

There is not a right and a wrong answer to every question.
Dallin H. Oaks
I just didn’t spend enough time with my job.
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
You can never get enough of what you don't need, because what you don't need won't satisfy you.
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
