More quotes by Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
Learning, pondering, searching, and memorizing scriptures is like filling a filing cabinet with friends, values, and truths that can be called upon anytime, anywhere in the world.
Richard G. Scott
If we are not careful, we will convey the message that investigators have to be perfect. Not true!
Richard G. Scott
Try reading the Book of Mormon because you want to, not because you have to. Discover for yourself that it is true.
Richard G. Scott

Richard G. Scott
Sadness, disappointment, and severe challenges are events in life, not life itself. I do not minimize how hard some of these events are. They can extend over a long period of time, but they should not be allowed to become the confining center of everything you do.
Richard G. Scott
