More quotes by Robert D. Hales
How we live our religion is far more important than what we may say about our religion.
Robert D. Hales
Suffering is universal how we react to suffering is individual. Suffering can take us one of two ways. It can be a strengthening and purifying experience combined with faith, or it can be a destructive force in our lives if we do not have the faith in the Lord's atoning sacrifice. The purpose of suffering, however, is to build and strengthen us.
Robert D. Hales
It has always touched my heart to sense so deeply how much the Father loved His eldest son.
Robert D. Hales
Most of us know someone who would say, 'If you want to be my friend, you'll have to accept my values.' A true friend doesn't ask us to choose between the gospel and his or her friendship. ... A true friend strengthens us to stay on the strait and narrow path.
Robert D. Hales
We become converted and spiritually self-reliant as we prayerfully live our covenants-through worthily partaking of the sacrament, being worthy of a temple recommend, and sacrificing to serve others.
Robert D. Hales
In some quiet way, the expression and feelings of gratitude have a wonderful cleansing or healing nature. Gratitude brings warmth to the giver and the receiver alike.
Robert D. Hales
If ye love me keep my commandments
Robert D. Hales
Never make someone have to choose between your ways and the Lord's ways. And always make sure that you're making it easier to live God's commandments for those who are by your side and who are your friends.
Robert D. Hales
Your Heavenly Father needs you. His work, under the direction of our Savior Jesus Christ, needs what you are uniquely prepared to give.
Robert D. Hales
What is the definition of a friend? Friends are people who make it easier to live the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Robert D. Hales
Agency used righteously allows light to dispel the darkness and enables us to live with joy and happiness.
Robert D. Hales
Through the Savior's Atonement and by following these basic patterns of faithfulness, we receive power from on high to face the challenges of life. We need this divine power today more than ever.
Robert D. Hales
We were not sent by Father in Heaven just to be born. We were sent to endure and return to Him with honor.
Robert D. Hales
I learned respect for womanhood from my father's tender caring for my mother, my sister, and his sisters. Father was the first to arise from dinner to clear the table. My sister and I would wash and dry the dishes each night at Father's request. If we were not there, Father and Mother would clean the kitchen together.
Robert D. Hales
To find the gifts we have been given, we must pray and fast. Often Patriarchal blessings tell us the gifts we have received and declare the promise of gifts we can receive if we seek after them. I urge you each to discover your gifts and to seek after those that will bring direction to your life's work and that will further the work of heaven.
Robert D. Hales
We have not been left alone. We have the light of Christ and the Holy Ghost to lead and guide us in an otherwise very dark and dreary world.
Robert D. Hales
The events and prophecies of our time are preparing us for the Savior's Second Coming.
Robert D. Hales
What is said is not as important as what [you] hear and what [you] feel.
Robert D. Hales
Oh, how we need general conference! Through conferences our faith is fortified and our testimonies deepened. And when we are converted, we strengthen each other to stand strong amid the fiery darts of these last days.
Robert D. Hales
As disciples of Jesus Christ we have a responsibility to work together with like-minded believers, to raise our voices for what is right.
Robert D. Hales
