Russell M. Nelson Quotes


"As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven." ~Russel M. Nelson

"Difficult trials often provide opportunities to grow that would not have come in any other way." ~Russell M. Nelson 

"Do not let the temptations of the world … distract you from the real reason you are here on earth." ~Russell M. Nelson 

"Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right.  Evil, error, and darkness will never be truth, even if popular." ~Russell M. Nelson 

"From the dawning of time, women have been blessed with a unique moral compass—the ability to distinguish right from wrong. This gift is enhanced in those who make and keep covenants. And it diminishes in those who willfully ignore the commandments of God. …my dear sisters, your ability to discern truth from error, to be society’s guardians of morality, is crucial in these latter days. And we depend upon you to teach others to do likewise. Let me be very clear about this: if the world loses the moral rectitude of its women, the world will never recover.." -President Russell M. Nelson, LDS Women's Conference 2019

"To rule children by force is the technique of Satan, not of the Savior. No, we don't own our children. Our parental privilege is to love them, to lead them, and, to let them go." ~Russell M Nelson

"When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves. Our inborn yearnings for family connections are fulfilled when we are linked to our ancestors." ~Russell M. Nelson

James Connolly - Humanity

“It would be well to realize that the talk of ‘humane methods of warfare’, of the ‘rules of civilized warfare’, and all such homage to the finer sentiments of the race are hypocritical and unreal, and only intended for the consumption of stay-at-homes. There are no humane methods of warfare, there is no such thing as civilized warfare; all warfare is inhuman, all warfare is barbaric; the first blast of the bugles of war ever sounds for the time being the funeral knell of human progress… What lover of humanity can view with anything but horror the prospect of this ruthless destruction of human life. Yet this is war: war for which all the jingoes are howling, war to which all the hopes of the world are being sacrificed, war to which a mad ruling class would plunge a mad world.” ~James Connolly

Tim Winton - Our birthright

“We live on the veranda of the world's greatest island. It's our birthright to have a clean ocean, to catch a feed, to interact with nature. And, like any birthright, we have to safeguard it.” ~Tim Winton, Australian author and Patron of the Australian Marine Conservation Society (SEA AND ME BY BLUEBOTTLE FILMS CHANNEL)

Angela Basset - Age

"I love my age. Old enough to know better. Young enough not to care. Experienced enough to do it right." ~Angela Basset
