More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
Anger does not solve anything it builds nothing.
Thomas S. Monson
I testify that each one of us can feel the Lord's inspiration as we live worthily and strive to serve Him.
Thomas S. Monson
To you who are worthy and able to attend the temple, I would admonish you to go often. The temple is a place where we can find peace. There we receive a renewed dedication to the gospel and a strengthened resolve to keep the commandments.
Thomas S. Monson
The ability to communicate is not something we are born with. We have to learn it and earn it.
Thomas S. Monson
True love is a reflection of the Savior's love. In December of each year we call it the Christmas Spirit.
Thomas S. Monson
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.
Thomas S. Monson
Each of us can do something to help someone.
Thomas S. Monson
To catch the real meaning of the Spirit of Christmas, we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the Spirit of Christ.
Thomas S. Monson
Decisions determine destiny.
Thomas S. Monson
Raising children, be aware that the piles and piles of laundry will disappear all too soon and that you will, to your surprise, miss them profoundly.
Thomas S. Monson
There is much that is difficult and challenging in the world today, my brothers and sisters, but there is also much that is good and uplifting. As we declare in our thirteenth article of faith, 'If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.' May we ever continue to do so.
Thomas S. Monson
My earnest prayer is that you will have the courage required to refrain from judging others, the courage to be chaste and virtuous, and the courage to stand firm for truth and righteousness. As you do so, you will be ‘an example of the believers’ (1 Timothy 4:12), and your life will be filled with love and peace and joy.
Thomas S. Monson
Missionary service is a priesthood duty.
Thomas S. Monson
I urge you to live within your means. One cannot spend more than one earns and remain solvent. I promise you that you will then be happier than you would be if you were constantly worrying about how to make the next payment on nonessential debt.
Thomas S. Monson
When we encounter challenges and problems in our lives, it is often difficult for us to focus on our blessings. However, if we reach deep enough and look hard enough, we will be able to feel and recognize just how much we have been given.
Thomas S. Monson
Cooperativeness is not so much learning how to get along with others as taking the kinks out of ourselves, so that others can get along with us.
Thomas S. Monson
Testimony bearing is the key to missionary work
Thomas S. Monson
When God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.
Thomas S. Monson
Life by the yard is hard by the inch it's a cinch. Decisions Determine Destiny.
Thomas S. Monson
None within the sound of my voice should be in any doubt concerning what is moral and what is not, nor should any be in doubt about what is expected of us ... We have been and continue to be taught God's laws. Despite what you may see or hear elsewhere, these laws are unchanging.
Thomas S. Monson
