Recently I reviewed the history of many missionaries and found a powerful correlation between exceptional missionaries and mothers who chose to remain home, often at great financial and personal sacrifice...They reflect honor to mothers who sacrificed to remain home for their children's benefit.
Richard G. Scott
If one of you has seriously sinned, repent-now. It is not good to violate the commandments of the Lord. It is worse to do nothing about it. Sin is like cancer in the body. It will never heal itself. It will become progressively worse unless cured through the medicine of repentance.
Richard G. Scott
Every time you make the right choice in the face of potential criticism you build strength that makes choosing the right easier the next time. When you make it clear that you will not vary from your standards, you will be led to individuals like yourself and the criticism from others will become less intense.
Richard G. Scott
Your agency, the right to make choices, is not given so that you can get what you want. This divine gift is provided so that you will choose what your Father in Heaven wants for you. That way He can lead you to become all that He intends you to be.
Richard G. Scott
We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.
Richard G. Scott
No one had to worry about Peter after his conversion. Your investigators can be that converted.

A key to improved prayer is to learn to ask the right questions. Consider changing from asking for the things you want to honestly seeking what He wants for you. Then as you learn His will, pray that you will be led to have the strength to fulfill it.
Richard G. Scott
Learning, pondering, searching, and memorizing scriptures is like filling a filing cabinet with friends, values, and truths that can be called upon anytime, anywhere in the world.
Richard G. Scott
Chose to converse with your Father in Heaven often. Make time every day to share your thoughts and feelings with Him.

Scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high.
Richard G. Scott
You are making better progress than you realize.
Richard G. Scott
If we are not careful, we will convey the message that investigators have to be perfect. Not true!
Richard G. Scott
Sadness, disappointment, and severe challenges are events in life, not life itself. I do not minimize how hard some of these events are. They can extend over a long period of time, but they should not be allowed to become the confining center of everything you do.
Richard G. Scott
Express gratitude for what your spouse does for you. Express that love and gratitude often.
Richard G. Scott
Don't yield to Satan's lie that you don't have time to study the scriptures. Choose to take time to study them. Feasting on the word of God each day is more important than sleep, school, work, television shows, video games, or social media. You may need to reorganize your priorities to provide time for the study of the word of God. If so, do it!
Richard G. Scott
I have never been sorry when I stood for what was right-even against severe criticism.
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
Recognize the good in others, not their stains.
Richard G. Scott
Don't look for a life virtually free from discomfort, pain, pressure, challenge, or grief, for those are the tools a loving Father uses to stimulate our personal growth and understanding.
