Quotes from all of President Nelsons general conference addresses
On Sept. 9, President Russell M. Nelson will turn 99 years old. In celebration of his birthday and in honor of his many years of service as an Apostle and Prophet in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Church News has compiled a quote from each of his general conference addresses since 1984.
1984
“Now, I understand fully that the call to the Holy Apostleship is one of witness to the world of the divinity of the Lord Jesus the Christ. I know that salvation is centered in Him!” (“Call to the Holy Apostleship,” April 1984)
“The source of our spiritual power is the Lord! The ultimate source of spiritual power is God our Father. The messenger of this power is the Holy Ghost. This power differs from electrical power. An electrical appliance consumes power. The use of His spiritual power replenishes our power.” (“Protect the Spiritual Power Line,” October 1984)
1985
“We are free to think. We are free to plan. And then we are free to do. But once an action has been taken, we are never free from its consequences. Those considering abortion have already exercised certain choices.” (“Reverence for Life,” April 1985)
“Remember, my dear one, not an age in life passes without temptation, trial, or torment experienced through your physical body. But as you prayerfully develop self-mastery, desires of the flesh may be subdued. And when that has been achieved, you may have the strength to submit to your Heavenly Father, as did Jesus, who said, ‘Not my will, but thine, be done’ (Luke 22:42).” (“Self-Mastery,” October 1985)
1986
“Few, if any, of the Lord’s instructions are stated more often, or given greater emphasis, than the commandment to care for the poor and the needy. Our dispensation is no exception.” (“In the Lord’s Own Way,” April 1986)
“... [In] order to experience true joy in the morning, or at any time, at least three factors are needed. You need to feel good about the people with whom you live and work — your companions in life. You must feel good about yourself — not in any sense of conceit, but simply a proper esteem for yourself, well deserved. And possibly most important, you must feel good about your relation to God and sincerely love him.” (“‘Joy Cometh in the Morning,’” October 1986)
1987
“... [Obedience] to the commandments of God is requisite if one is to be resurrected with a celestial body. ... Our challenge is to learn them and abide by them.” (“Life after Life,” April 1987)
“Why is the power to act in the name of God ... important? Because it is of eternal significance. We should understand the source of our authority and something of the keys that control its power. They may benefit every man, woman, and child who now lives, who has lived, and who yet will live upon the earth.” (“Keys of the Priesthood,” October 1987)
“Without women, the whole purpose of the creation of this world would be in vain.” (“Lessons from Eve,” October 1987)
1988

“The Lord has revealed His sacred standard to guide people in a troubled world. You and I were born free to follow His divine guidance. We may choose for ourselves.

1989
“As we dread any disease that undermines the health of the body, so should we deplore contention, which is a corroding canker of the spirit.” (“The Canker of Contention,” April 1989)
“A worthy woman personifies the truly noble and worthwhile attributes of life. A faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God — more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.” (“Woman — Of Infinite Worth,” October 1989)
1990
“[The Church of Jesus Christ] has been restored and given a name by the Lord Himself. He issued this solemn warning: ‘Let all men beware how they take my name in their lips. ... Remember,’ He added, ‘that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care’ (Doctrine and Covenants 63:61, 64). Therefore, just as we revere His holy name, we likewise revere the name that He decreed for His church.” (“‘Thus Shall My Church Be Called,’” April 1990)
“As you continue to face many challenging choices in life, remember, there is great protection when you know who you are, why you are here, and where you are going. Let your unique identity shape each decision you make on the path toward your eternal destiny. Accountability for your choices now will bear on all that lies ahead.” (“Choices,” October 1990)
1991

“Members of the [Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square] are not superhuman. They are ordinary people with ordinary frailties. But therein lies the power of their example.

1992
“The grip of physical death is temporary. It began with the fall of Adam; it ended with the Atonement of Jesus the Christ. The waiting period in paradise is temporary, too. It ends with the resurrection.” (“Doors of Death,” April 1992)
“In bright contrast to such bitter chaos, the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ beams as the hope of the world. Missionaries and members courageously proclaim its brilliance.

The Lord hides His wisdom from no one.” (“Where Is Wisdom?” October 1992)
1993

1995
“We are ... children of the covenant. We have received, as did they of old, the holy priesthood and the everlasting gospel. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are our ancestors. We are of Israel.

“We all need to remember: men are that they might have joy — not guilt trips!” (“Perfection Pending,” October 1995)
1996
“No matter where we live or in what position we serve, all of us need to determine which way we face. God’s commandments serve as a standard against which priorities can be measured. Our respect for the first commandment fashions our feelings for all the others.” (“‘Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods,’” April 1996)
“The purposes of the Creation, the Fall and the Atonement all converge on the sacred work done in temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The earth was created and the Church was restored to make possible the sealing of wife to husband, children to parents, families to progenitors, worlds without end. This is the great latter-day work of which we are a part.” (“The Atonement,” October 1996)
1997
“Loyalty to the Lord carries an obligation of loyalty to those called by the Lord to lead His Church. He has empowered that men be ordained to speak in His holy name. As they guide His unsinkable boat safely toward the shore of salvation, we would do well to stay on board with them.” (“Endure and Be Lifted Up,” April 1997)
“While we follow prophetic teachings, we can develop our spiritual capacities by emulating one such as President Gordon B. Hinckley. I thank God for this prophet.” (“Spiritual Capacity,” October 1997)
1998
“Elijah came not only to stimulate research for ancestors. He also enabled families to be eternally linked beyond the bounds of mortality. Indeed, the opportunity for families to be sealed forever is the real reason for our research.” (“A New Harvest Time,” April 1998)
“We are dual beings. Each soul is comprised of body and spirit, both of which emanate from God. A firm understanding of body and spirit will shape our thoughts and deeds for good.” (“We Are Children of God,” October 1998)
1999
“You young men need to know that you can hardly achieve your highest potential without the influence of good women, particularly your mother and, in a few years, a good wife. Learn now to show respect and gratitude.” (“Our Sacred Duty to Honor Women,” April 1999)

With diligent effort, we can achieve that guidance and thus qualify for all of the blessings that God has in store for His faithful children.” (“Living by Scriptural Guidance,” October 2000)
2001
“I have learned that temple blessings are most meaningful when death takes a loved one away from the family circle. To know that the pain of separation is only temporary provides peace that passes ordinary understanding.” (“Personal Preparation for Temple Blessings,” April 2001)
“As we go through life, even through very rough waters, a father’s instinctive impulse to cling tightly to his wife or to his children may not be the best way to accomplish his objective. Instead, if he will lovingly cling to the Savior and the iron rod of the gospel, his family will want to cling to him and to the Savior.” (“‘Set in Order Thy House,’” October 2001)
2002

2003
“When we pray, we should not presume to give counsel but should inquire of the Lord and hearken to His counsel.” (“Sweet Power of Prayer,” April 2003)
“I belong to a wonderful priesthood quorum. We enjoy a precious brotherhood. We pray together; we serve together. We teach, love, and sustain one another. The Twelve come from different backgrounds — business, education, law, and science. But not one was called to serve because of that background. In fact, all men called to positions of priesthood responsibility are chosen because of who they are and who they can become.” (“Personal Priesthood Responsibility,” October 2003)
2004
“Because we have a spirit as well as a physical body, we also have spiritual roots that go way back. They shape our values, our beliefs, and our faith. Spiritual roots guide our commitment to the ideals and teachings of the Lord.” (“Roots and Branches,” April 2004)
“I express gratitude for our senior missionaries. They are young in spirit, wise and willing to work. They even tolerate remarks from their fun-filled children who might change President Spencer W. Kimball’s plea ‘Lengthen your stride’ to ‘Hasten your shuffle.’ These dear members are willing to serve and strengthen the lives of others.” (“Senior Missionaries and the Gospel,” October 2004)
2005
“Now is the time to prepare. Then, when death comes, we can move toward the celestial glory that Heavenly Father has prepared for His faithful children.

“When sore trials come upon us, it’s time to deepen our faith in God, to work hard and to serve others. Then He will heal our broken hearts. He will bestow upon us personal peace and comfort. Those great gifts will not be destroyed, even by death.” (“Jesus Christ — the Master Healer,” October 2005)
2006
“When you as husband and wife recognize the divine design in your union — when you feel deeply that God has brought you to each other — your vision will be expanded and your understanding enhanced.” (“Nurturing Marriage,” April 2006)
“The Book of Mormon is central to this work [of gathering scattered Israel]. It declares the doctrine of the gathering. It causes people to learn about Jesus Christ, to believe His gospel and to join His Church. In fact, if there were no Book of Mormon, the promised gathering of Israel would not occur.” (“The Gathering of Scattered Israel,” October 2006)
2007
“The fruits of repentance are sweet. Repentant converts find that the truths of the restored gospel govern their thoughts and deeds, shape their habits, and forge their character. They are more resilient and able to deny themselves of all ungodliness.” (“Repentance and Conversion,” April 2007)
“Love for the Book of Mormon expands one’s love for the Bible and vice versa. Scriptures of the Restoration do not compete with the Bible; they complement the Bible.” (“Scriptural Witnesses,” October 2007)
2008
“The home is to be God’s laboratory of love and service. There a husband is to love his wife, a wife is to love her husband, and parents and children are to love one another. ... Thanks to God’s great plan of happiness, families can be together forever — as exalted beings.” (“Salvation and Exaltation,” April 2008)

2009

2011

2013

2015
“Think of this: In paying tithing, we return one-tenth of our increase to the Lord. In keeping the Sabbath holy, we reserve one day in seven as His. So it is our privilege to consecrate both money and time to Him who lends us life each day.” (“The Sabbath Is a Delight,” April 2015)
In July 2015, President Nelson was sustained as the President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

“My dear brothers and sisters, I testify that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God. It contains the answers to life’s most compelling questions. It teaches the doctrine of Christ.

2018
Following the death of President Thomas S. Monson, President Nelson was sustained as Prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Jan. 14, 2018.
“I am very grateful for each man who bears the holy priesthood. You are the hope of our Redeemer, who desires ‘that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord, even the Savior of the world’ (Doctrine and Covenants 1:20). He wants all of His ordained sons to represent Him, to speak for Him, to act for Him and to bless the lives of God’s children throughout the world, to the end ‘that faith also might increase in [all] the earth’ (Doctrine and Covenants 1:21).” (“Introductory Remarks,” April 2018)
“A hallmark of the Lord’s true and living Church will always be an organized, directed effort to minister to individual children of God and their families.

“My dear sisters, you have special spiritual gifts and propensities. Tonight I urge you, with all the hope of my heart, to pray to understand your spiritual gifts — to cultivate, use and expand them, even more than you ever have. You will change the world as you do so.” (“Sisters’ Participation in the Gathering of Israel,” October 2018)
“If we as a people and as individuals are to have access to the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ — to cleanse and heal us, to strengthen and magnify us, and ultimately to exalt us — we must clearly acknowledge Him as the source of that power. We can begin by calling His Church by the name He decreed.” (“The Correct Name of the Church,” October 2018)

“In truth, the Savior Himself has made it abundantly clear that while His Resurrection assures that every person who ever lived will indeed be resurrected and live forever, much more is required if we want to have the high privilege of exaltation. Salvation is an individual matter, but exaltation is a family matter.” (“‘Come, Follow Me,’” April 2019)

“Latter-day Saints, as with other followers of Jesus Christ, are always looking for ways to help, to lift, and to love others. ... They truly seek to live the first and second great commandments.

Staying on that narrow but well-defined path will ultimately qualify us to receive all that God has.” (“Pure Truth, Pure Doctrine, and Pure Revelation,” October 2021)
“We are sparing no effort to give this venerable [Salt Lake Temple], which had become increasingly vulnerable, a foundation that will withstand the forces of nature into the Millennium.

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.” (“The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation,” October 2021)
