More quotes by M. Russell Ballard
The joy in motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times, but amid the challenges there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction.
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
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
Focus on fruitful relationships that bring you closer to Jesus Christ.
M. Russell Ballard
Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the source of spiritual power that will give you and me the assurance that we have nothing to fear.
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
When we learn to expect more success than failure in life, we soon will develop an attitude of success.

Family councils, led by righteous, loving parents who are striving to teach their children to love and respect each other, can make a difference in creating a sense of discipline, order and loving cooperation in the home.
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
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
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
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
We should seek at all times to purify ourselves and to lead such worthy lives that the Light of Christ emanates from us in all that we say and do.
M. Russell Ballard
Procreative power & priesthood power are shared by husband & wife
M. Russell Ballard
Sacrifice is a demonstration of pure love.
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
The words of the Lord are found in the scriptures and the teachings of the apostles and prophets. They provide us counsel and direction that, when followed, will act like a spiritual life jacket and will help us know how to hold on with both hands.
M. Russell Ballard
No matter how difficult the trial... we can take comfort in knowing that others before us have borne life's most grievous trials and tragedies by looking to heaven.
M. Russell Ballard
All the marvels of nature are glimpses of His divine power and expressions of His love.
M. Russell Ballard
