More quotes by Richard G. Scott
If we are not careful, we will convey the message that investigators have to be perfect. Not true!
Richard G. Scott
A quiet impression could be a personal instruction from the Lord. It is personal and private. It comes from the Lord. Why is it important to keep sacred writings private? Because then He will give us more.
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
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
Choosing to do what the Lord has defined as right will, in the long run, always lead to the best outcomes.

Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
I witness that as you gain experience and success in being guided by the Spirit, your confidence in the impressions you feel can become more certain than your dependence on what you see or hear.
Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
The Lord sees weaknesses differently than He does rebellion.
Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
If you choose to concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see.
Richard G. Scott
True friendship is like the asphalt of life. It fills in the potholes and makes the journey smooth.
Richard G. Scott
Faith and character are intimately related. Faith in the power of obedience to the commandments of God will forge strength of character available to you in times of urgent need.
Richard G. Scott
We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.
Richard G. Scott
Freedom requires no effort to enjoy but requires heroic efforts to preserve.
Richard G. Scott
When you face adversity . . . don't' ask: Why does this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer this, now? What have I done to cause this? Rather ask: What am I to do? What am I to learn from this experience? What am I to change? Whom am I to help? How can I remember my many blessings in times of trial?
Richard G. Scott
Your peace of mind, your assurance of answers to vexing problems, your ultimate joy depend upon your trust in Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.
