More quotes by 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
It seems to me that a Latter-day Saint parent has a responsibility in love and gentleness to affirm the teaching of the Lord through His prophets that the course of action he is about to embark upon is sinful.
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
We gain or strengthen a testimony by bearing it.
Dallin H. Oaks
Citizens ... should be practitioners of civic virtue in their conduct toward government. They should be ever willing to fulfill the duties of citizenship. This includes compulsory duties like military service and the numerous voluntary actions they must take if they are to preserve the principle of limited government through citizen self-reliance.
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
Our lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen.
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
The word sharing affirms that we have something extraordinarily valuable and desire to give it to others for their benefit and blessing.
Dallin H. Oaks
I just didn’t spend enough time with my job.
Dallin H. Oaks
President Lorenzo Snow declared that it is the grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint . . . to have the manifestations of the spirit every day of our lives.
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
It's wrong to criticize leaders of the Church, even if the criticism is true.
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
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
I say, choose faith. Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism.
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
Love is the most powerful force in the world.
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.
