More quotes by M. Russell Ballard

M. Russell Ballard
Sacrifice is a demonstration of pure love.
M. Russell Ballard
It is the parents duty to intervene when they see wrong choices being made.
M. Russell Ballard
Proclaiming the gospel to all mankind is a fundamental part of the mission of the Church.
M. Russell Ballard
When a leader in the Church inspires council members with vision, he helps them focus on their real mission so that they are ministering to people rather than merely administering programs.
M. Russell Ballard
All of us must come to an honest, open self-examination, an awareness within as to who and what we want to be.
M. Russell Ballard
The key [to sharing the gospel] is that you be inspired of God, that you ask Him for direction and then go and do as the Spirit prompts you.
M. Russell Ballard
We need to commit to serve the Lord and our communities with the same diligence and faith that the pioneers had. We must ever be on our guard that we do not become casual in keeping God's commandments, in abiding by His laws, and in being honest and trustworthy in all that we do.
M. Russell Ballard
Set goals that are well balanced-not too many nor too few, and not too high nor too low. Write down your attainable goals and work on them according to their importance. Pray for divine guidance in your goal setting.
M. Russell Ballard
If your dream requires patience, give it.
M. Russell Ballard

M. Russell Ballard
What matters most is what lasts the longest and families are forever.
M. Russell Ballard
Just as He had done with David, Samuel, and Joseph of the Old Testament, God took an innocent, unlearned boy, one still unsullied by the world and pliable to His divine will, and molded and shaped him into His chosen prophet.
M. Russell Ballard
It is a shortsighted priesthood leader who doesn't see the value in calling upon the sisters to share the understanding and inspiration they possess.
M. Russell Ballard
Remember, young men, that purity precedes power. The Lord said, 'But purify your hearts before me and then go ye into all the world, and preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it' (D&C 112:28). Missionaries discover this very early in their missions and make every effort to be worthy so they can serve with power.
M. Russell Ballard
The love for work needs to be re-enthroned in our lives. Every family should have a plan for work that touches the life of each family member so that this eternal principle will be ingrained in their lives.
M. Russell Ballard
The Lord does not want us to miss supper. In fact, He has a great feast prepared for those who return clean and pure through the door.
M. Russell Ballard
If we are one in purpose, spirit, principle and faith, then it doesn't really matter if we are always of the same opinion. Opinions change and can be easily altered by time, experience, and circumstance. But principles, purposes, spirituality, and faith are enduring values that can bind us as one despite disagreement or dispute.
M. Russell Ballard
Those of you who have fallen prey to any kind of addiction, there is hope because God loves all of His children
M. Russell Ballard
There is no one perfect way to be a good mother... Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children... What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else.
M. Russell Ballard
