More quotes by Richard G. Scott
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
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
When revelation comes write it down.
Richard G. Scott
No missionary can determine the lasting effects of his or her labors.
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
The joyful news for anyone who desires to be rid of the consequences of past poor choices is that the Lord sees weaknesses differently than He does rebellion. Whereas the Lord warns that unrepented rebellion will bring punishment, when the Lord speaks of weaknesses, it is always with mercy.
Richard G. Scott
Freedom requires no effort to enjoy but requires heroic efforts to preserve.
Richard G. Scott
Sometimes the impressions are just general feelings. Sometimes the direction comes so clearly and so unmistakably that it can be written down like spiritual dictation.
Richard G. Scott
We best serve our Father in Heaven by righteously influencing others and serving them.
Richard G. Scott
I have never been sorry when I stood for what was right-even against severe criticism.
Richard G. Scott
A knowledge of truth is of little value unless lived in full measure.
Richard G. Scott
. . . we will never be prompted by the Holy Ghost to do something we cannot do. It may require extraordinary effort and much time, patience, prayer, and obedience, but we can do it.
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
No one had to worry about Peter after his conversion. Your investigators can be that converted.
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
As you live high standards publicly and privately, and even under great pressure adhere to them, you raise the vision of others.
Richard G. Scott
If you want to talk to God, pray. If you want him to talk to you, read your scriptures.
Richard G. Scott
The seminary programs will help you as a young man or woman to lay a foundation for happiness and success in life.
Richard G. Scott
Trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more.
Richard G. Scott
One of the greatest blessings we can offer to the world is the power of a Christ-centered home where the gospel is taught, covenants are kept, and love abounds.
