More quotes by Robert D. Hales
We sometimes think that being grateful is what we do after our problems are solved, but how terribly shortsighted that is. How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God that there is rain?
Robert D. Hales
It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race-it is how you cross the finish line that will matter.
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
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
Agency used righteously allows light to dispel the darkness and enables us to live with joy and happiness.
Robert D. Hales
Let us not give up on the Lord. His blessings are eternal, not temporary.
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
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
Preparing for the ups and downs of life.
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
How we conduct ourselves in this life will determine what we will be in all the eternities to come. To receive the blessings of the sealing that our Heavenly Father has given to us, we have to keep the commandments and conduct ourselves in such a way that our families will want to live with us in the eternities.
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
Too often we pray to have patience, but we want it right now!
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
In addition to inviting us to hold personal and family scripture study, Heavenly Father wants us to regularly study and apply what we have learned in conference. I testify that those who put their trust in the Lord and heed this counsel in faith will gain great strength to bless themselves and their families for generations to come.
Robert D. Hales
Work together as a family, even if it may be faster and easier to do the job ourselves. Talk with our sons and daughters as we work together.
Robert D. Hales
The events and prophecies of our time are preparing us for the Savior's Second Coming.
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
How we live our religion is far more important than what we may say about our religion.
Robert D. Hales
We learn to endure to the end by learning to finish our current responsibilities, and we simply continue doing it all of our lives. We cannot expect to learn endurance in our later years if we have developed the habit of quitting when things get difficult now.
