More quotes by Richard G. Scott
To gain unshakable faith in Jesus Christ is to flood your life with brilliant light.
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
When revelation comes write it down.
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
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
Knowledge carefully recorded is knowledge available in time of need. Spiritually sensitive information should be kept in a sacred place that communicates to the Lord how you treasure it. This practice enhances the likelihood of receiving further light.
Richard G. Scott
When I marry, it will be to a faithful returned missionary in the Temple.
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
Trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more.
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
A true principle makes decisions clear even under the most confusing and challenging circumstances.
Richard G. Scott
Seek out your bishop. He will show you how to repent and will help you do it.
Richard G. Scott
Freedom requires no effort to enjoy but requires heroic efforts to preserve.
Richard G. Scott
What I am trying to teach is that when we keep the temple covenants we have made and when we live righteously in order to maintain the blessings promised by those ordinances, then come what may, we have no reason to worry or to feel despondent.
Richard G. Scott
If you choose to concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see.
Richard G. Scott
You are one of the noblest of God's creations. His intent is that your life be gloriously beautiful regardless of your circumstances. As you are grateful and obedient, you can become all that God intends you to be.
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
A sense of humor is an escape valve for the pressures of life.
Richard G. Scott
Don't let the workings of adversity totally absorb your life. Try to understand what you can. Act where you are able then let the matter rest with the Lord for a period while you give to others in worthy ways before you take on appropriate concern again.
Richard G. Scott
You are making better progress than you realize.
