Quote

On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.

Any excuse, no matter how valid, only weakens the character.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
How much better the world would be if we all gave gifts of understanding, and compassion, of service, and friendship, of kindness and gentleness.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
As we touch the temple and love the temple, our lives will reflect our faith. As we go to the holy house, as we remember the covenants we make therein, we will be able to bear every trial and overcome each temptation.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
There is no finer way to demonstrate love of God than by serving Him in the positions to which we may be called. Occasionally, the reward for that service will be prompt, and we'll see the light in the eyes of the person whom we have helped. Other times, however, the Lord will let us wait a little while and let our reward come another way.

Image
Though we may not necessarily forfeit our lives in service to our God, we can certainly demonstrate our love for Him by how well we serve Him.

Have we been guilty of declaring, 'I've been thinking about making some course corrections in my life. I plan to take the first step-tomorrow'? With such thinking, tomorrow is forever. Such tomorrows rarely come unless we do something about them today.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Let me begin now, this very night, to emulate Christ. Cast off forever will be the old self and with it defeat, despair, doubt, and disbelief. To a newness of life I come--a life of faith, hope courage, and joy. No task looms too large no responsibility too heavy no duty is a burden. All things become possible.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
It is not enough to want to make the effort... it's in the doing, not just the thinking that we accomplish our goals.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Loving service anonymously given may be unknown to man-but the gift and the giver are known to God.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
It is imperative that we recognize that whatever has happened to us has happened to others. They have coped and so must we. We are not alone. Heavenly Father's help is near.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
We are reminded that anger doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
When God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.

Don't save something for a special occasion. Every day of your life is a special occasion.

Your patriarchal blessing is your passport to peace in this life. It is a Liahona of light to guide you unerringly to your heavenly home.

Image
Vice never leads to virtue. Hate never promotes love. Cowardice never gives courage. Doubt never inspires faith.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Few see beyond the outward appearance And recognize the true worth of a human soul. When they do, miracles occur.

Man has made remarkable strides in conquering outer space, but how futile have been his efforts in conquering inner space- the space in our hearts and minds of men.
