More quotes by Richard G. Scott
Stay on the Lord's side, and you will win every time.
Richard G. Scott
I have never been sorry when I stood for what was right-even against severe criticism.
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
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
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
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
Lay the burden at the feet of the Savior.
Richard G. Scott
The conquering of adversity produces strength of character, forges self-confidence, engenders self-respect, and assures success in righteous endeavor.
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
To gain unshakable faith in Jesus Christ is to flood your life with brilliant light.
Richard G. Scott
Chose to converse with your Father in Heaven often. Make time every day to share your thoughts and feelings with Him.
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.
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 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
When I marry, it will be to a faithful returned missionary in the Temple.
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
Recognize the good in others, not their stains.
Richard G. Scott
To reach a goal you have never before attained, you must do things you have never before done.
Richard G. Scott
Conversion is a very, very important part of what you are doing. We will have a responsibility to report to Heavenly Father regarding those we bring into the Church.
Richard G. Scott
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
