Dallin H Oaks

The foremost quality of the pioneers was faith


A fanatic is someone who loses sight of the goal but has redoubled his efforts to get there

Much of the misery encouraged by Satan comes from losses. Satan experienced that kind of misery when he lost his 1st estate. Now he tries to inflict similar losses on those who have proceeded to mortality, the 2nd estate. Satan encourages a loss of virtue, a loss of integrity, a loss of reputation, a loss of ideals, a loss of wholesome associates, & even a loss of life

The most effective missionaries…always act out of love
It is His work, not ours & it must be done in His way & on His timing, not ours. Otherwise, our efforts may be fated to frustration & failure.
We must be sure we act out of love & not in any attempt to gain personal recognition or advantage

We should live so that what [Gordon B. Hinkley] called ‘the tremendous power of the example of a member of the church’ will influence those around us
