More quotes by Russell M. Nelson
Counting blessings is better than recounting problems
Russell M. Nelson
Men are that they might have joy . . . not guilt trips.
Russell M. Nelson
I honor women who are not mothers. They know that motherhood is but one of the realms of womankind. The virtue and intelligence of women are uniquely applicable to other realms as well, such as compassionate service and teaching.
Russell M. Nelson
To those who feel defeated and downtrodden, look to the early hours of the day for your rescue...Shadows of yesterday's grief melt in the rays of early morn's opportunity.
Russell M. Nelson
The highest and noblest work in this life is that of a mother.
Russell M. Nelson
Each marriage starts with two built-in handicaps. It involves two imperfect people.
Russell M. Nelson
When we love somebody, we show it by doing something nice. So learn to serve: find a need and fulfill a need. Surprise people with a good deed they hadn't planned on. We have that opportunity at home, at school, and at church.
Russell M. Nelson
Truth is truth! It is not divisible, and any part of it cannot be set aside.
Russell M. Nelson
It is important for you to know who you are and who you may become. It is more important than what you do, even as vital as your work is and will be.
Russell M. Nelson
I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.
Russell M. Nelson
Some of the sweetest spirits are housed in frail frames. Great spiritual strength is often developed by those with physical challenges precisely because they are challenged. Such individuals are entitled to all the blessings that God has in store for His faithful and obedient children.
Russell M. Nelson
Abortion sheds that innocent blood. Now, as a servant of the Lord, I dutifully warn those who advocate and practice abortion that they incur the wrath of Almighty God, who declared, If men... hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her . . . he shall be surely punished.
Russell M. Nelson
The temptation to be popular may prioritize public opinion above the word of God. Political campaigns and marketing strategies widely employ public opinion polls to shape their plans. Results of those polls are informative. But they could hardly be used as grounds to justify disobedience to God’s commandments!
Russell M. Nelson
Now is the time to align our goals with God's goals.
Russell M. Nelson
Increase your faith. Proclaim your faith. Let your faith show.
Russell M. Nelson
Marriage is sanctified when it is cherished and honored in holiness. That union is not merely between husband and wife it embraces a partnership with God.
Russell M. Nelson
For their salvation is necessary and essential to our salvation, … they without us cannot be made perfect—neither can we without our dead be made perfect.
Russell M. Nelson
In the pursuit of education, individual desire is more influential than institution, and personal faith more forceful than faculty.
Russell M. Nelson
The surest step toward joy in the morning is virtue in the evening.
Russell M. Nelson
Be we reminded that the gathering of Israel is not the ultimate endpoint. It is but the beginning. The true endpoint is eternal life. It is that God’s children, in a covenant relationship with Him either by lineage or by adoption, will be able to dwell with Him and their families forever. That is God’s glory-eternal life for His children!
Russell M. Nelson
