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.

More quotes by Dallin H. Oaks
Our earliest efforts will be heard with joy by our Heavenly Father, however they are phrased.
Dallin H. Oaks
Our spirits...require nourishment. Just as there is food for the body, there is food for the spirit. The consequences of spiritual malnutrition are just as hurtful to our spiritual lives as physical malnutrition is to our physical bodies.
Dallin H. Oaks
Love is the most powerful force in the world.
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
Though we disagree, we should not be disagreeable.
Dallin H. Oaks
Our Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interests in order to serve others.
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
The principles stated in the proclamation on the family are a beautiful expression of this gospel culture.
Dallin H. Oaks
Every teaching position, every missionary position can be held by single people. We welcome to that kind of service people who are struggling with any kind of temptation when the struggle is a good struggle and they are living so as to be appropriate teachers, or missionaries, or whatever the calling may be.
Dallin H. Oaks
And so we understand that the atonement of Jesus Christ gives us the opportunity to overcome spiritual death that results from sin, and, through making and keeping sacred covenants, to have the blessings of eternal life.
Dallin H. Oaks
Adversities are temporary. What is permanent is what we become by the way we react to them.
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
Most angelic communications are felt or heard rather than seen.
Dallin H. Oaks
...When a choice will make a real difference in our lives—obvious or not—and when we are living in tune with the Spirit and seeking his guidance, we can be sure we will receive the guidance we need to attain our goal.
Dallin H. Oaks
If people want to legalize a particular relationship, we need to be careful if that kind of relationship has been disapproved for millennia.
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
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.
Dallin H. Oaks
There is not a right and a wrong answer to every question.
Dallin H. Oaks
The healing power of the Lord Jesus Christ-whether it removes our burdens or strengthens us to endure and live with them like the Apostle Paul-is available for every affliction in mortality.
