More quotes by 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
While there are many things you can do to help a loved one in need, there are some things that must be done by the Lord.
Richard G. Scott
If we are not careful, we will convey the message that investigators have to be perfect. Not true!
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
It is through the repeated process of feeling impressions, recording them, and obeying them that one learns to depend on the direction of the Spirit more than on communication through the other five senses.
Richard G. Scott
Some missionaries are giants in the Spirit and pygmies in skills in the Spirit. Work hard to develop a balance. Your leaders, and you, should teach the skills to each other.
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
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
Yielding to emotions such as anger or hurt or defensiveness will drive away the Holy Ghost.
Richard G. Scott
Feelings of bitterness and dissatisfaction feed upon themselves and give place to thoughts and acts of unkindness, criticism, and eventually even hatred. Criticism is often motivated by a desire to rationalize one's own shortcomings and to justify termination of sacred marriage covenants.
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 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
Be grateful that your righteous life molds you so that you don’t fit where you don’t belong
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
In quiet moments when you think about it, you recognize what is critically important in life and what isn't. Be wise and don't let good things crowd out those that are essential.
Richard G. Scott
Stay on the Lord's side, and you will win every time.
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
. . . 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
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.
