More quotes by Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
I have been taught that we can make many choices in life, but we cannot choose our final destiny. Our actions do that.
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
The Lord sees weaknesses differently than He does rebellion.
Richard G. Scott
Create an atmosphere for the Spirit. The Spirit must be present.
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
A true principle makes decisions clear even under the most confusing and challenging circumstances.
Richard G. Scott
