More quotes by Dallin H. Oaks

Dallin H. Oaks
Most angelic communications are felt or heard rather than seen.
Dallin H. Oaks

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

Dallin H. Oaks
We should recognize that the Lord will speak to us through the Spirit in His own time and in His own way.

Dallin H. Oaks
Adversities are temporary. What is permanent is what we become by the way we react to them.
Dallin H. Oaks
We need to lay hold on the feelings and try to control them to keep us from getting into a circumstance that leads to sinful behavior.
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
I testify of our Savior, Jesus Christ, whose teachings and example we seek to follow. He invites all of us who are heavy laden to come unto Him, to learn of Him, to follow Him, and thus to find rest to our souls.
Dallin H. Oaks
A good marriage does not require a perfect man or a perfect woman. It only requires a man and a woman committed to strive together toward perfection.
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
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 lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen.
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.
Dallin H. Oaks
