M. Russell Ballard
When the Spirit is present, people are not offended when you share your feelings about the gospel.
M. Russell Ballard
...We need to strive to keep things in proper balance. Good balance comes in doing things in a timely way and in not procrastinating our preparation or waiting to fulfill our responsibilities until the last minute.
M. Russell Ballard
Of all the opportunities my priesthood authority affords, there is none grander than the privilege of being in one of our temples and representing the Master in officiating in the marriage of two of His worthy, righteous children.
M. Russell Ballard
I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.
M. Russell Ballard
It may not always be easy, convenient, or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always.

M. Russell Ballard

M. Russell Ballard
Trust the Lord. He is the good shepherd. He knows His sheep. And His sheep know His voice.
M. Russell Ballard
It is impossible for us to fail when we do our best when we are on the Lord's errand.
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
Focus on fruitful relationships that bring you closer to Jesus Christ.
M. Russell Ballard
Simply stated, testimony-real testimony, born of the Spirit and confirmed by the Holy Ghost-changes lives. It changes how you think and what you do. It changes what you say. It affects every priority you set and every choice you make.
M. Russell Ballard
Friends and family are vitally important for an individual who is struggling to return to the gospel path. Those around such a person must refrain from judging. They must do all they can to show love.
M. Russell Ballard
Sacrifice is a demonstration of pure love.
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
Do not think that you are too busy to study the gospel.
M. Russell Ballard
Do not shift your focus from serving others to focusing exclusively on school, work, or social activities.
M. Russell Ballard
