More quotes by Richard G. Scott
Marriage provides an ideal setting for overcoming any tendency to be selfish or self-centered. I think one of the reasons that we are counseled to get married early in life is to avoid developing inappropriate character traits that are hard to change.
Richard G. Scott
No enduring improvement can occur without righteous exercise of agency. Do not attempt to override agency. The Lord himself would not do that. Forced obedience yields no blessings.
Richard G. Scott
There are powerful emotions that bring two people together in wonderful harmony in a marriage. Satan knows this, and would tempt you to try these emotions outside of marriage. Do not stir emotions meant to be used only in marriage.
Richard G. Scott
Freedom requires no effort to enjoy but requires heroic efforts to preserve.

Richard G. Scott
In quiet moments when you think about it, you recognize what is critically important in life and what isn't. Be wise and don't let good things crowd out those that are essential.
Richard G. Scott
Some missionaries are giants in the Spirit and pygmies in skills in the Spirit. Work hard to develop a balance. Your leaders, and you, should teach the skills to each other.
Richard G. Scott
The endowment and sealing ordinances of the temple are so gloriously rich in meaning that you will want to allow significant time to receive those ordinances and to ponder their meaning.
Richard G. Scott
While there are many things you can do to help a loved one in need, there are some things that must be done by the Lord.
Richard G. Scott
We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.
Richard G. Scott
I see no conflict between science and religion. When you take truth in either one of these realms, science or religion, they match perfectly.
Richard G. Scott
We often leave the most precious personal direction of the Spirit unheard because we do not record and respond to the first promptings that come to us when the Lord chooses to direct us.
Richard G. Scott
Simple, consistent good habits lead to a life full of bountiful blessings.
Richard G. Scott
If you choose to concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see.
Richard G. Scott
It really does no good to ask questions that reflect opposition to the will of God. Rather ask, What am I to do?
Richard G. Scott
You are making better progress than you realize.
