More quotes by Russell M. Nelson
Be patient with yourself. Perfection comes not in this life, but in the next life. Don't demand things that are unreasonable, but demand of yourself improvement. As you let the Lord help you through that, He will make the difference.
Russell M. Nelson
Obedience allows God’s blessings to flow without constraint. He will bless His obedient children with freedom from bondage and misery. And He will bless them with more light.
Russell M. Nelson
Fasting gives you confidence to know that your spirit can master appetite . . . and helps to protect against later uncontrolled cravings and gnawing habits.
Russell M. Nelson
Unfinished business is our worst business. Perpetual procrastination must yield to perceptive preparation. Today we have a little more time to bless others-time to be kinder, more compassionate, quicker to thank and slower to scold, more generous in sharing, more gracious in caring.
Russell M. Nelson
The second of our Lord's two great commandments carries a double charge: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself' (Matt. 22:39). Therefore, love of companion is governed, in part, by esteem of self.
Russell M. Nelson
Rationalization is one of the real obstacles to obedience.
Russell M. Nelson
The surest step toward joy in the morning is virtue in the evening.
Russell M. Nelson
Spirit and body, when joined together, become a living soul of supernal worth.
Russell M. Nelson
While we are free to choose, once we have made those choices, we are tied to the consequences of those choices.
Russell M. Nelson
There is no conflict between science and religion. Conflict only arises from an incomplete knowledge of either science or religion, or both.
Russell M. Nelson
The Savior's way of life is good.
Russell M. Nelson
Faith is the antidote for fear.
Russell M. Nelson
Men are that they might have joy . . . not guilt trips.
Russell M. Nelson
I urge you to choose companions well and cherish those friends who lift you and make you better in their presence. And be such friends to one another.
Russell M. Nelson
How you deal with life’s trials is part of the development of your faith.
Russell M. Nelson
Truth is truth! It is not divisible, and any part of it cannot be set aside.
Russell M. Nelson
When priorities are proper, the power to endure is increased. And when internalized, those priorities will help keep you from going overboard.
Russell M. Nelson
Many religious confessions share common values. They teach that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
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
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but we are not. Each day, ours is the challenge to access the power of the Atonement so that we can truly change, become more Christlike, and qualify for the gift of exaltation and live eternally with God, Jesus Christ, and our families. For these powers, privileges, and gospel gifts, thanks be to God!
Russell M. Nelson
