More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
Choose good friends. Friends help to determine your future. You will tend to be like them and to be found where they choose to go. Remember, the path we follow in this life leads to the path we follow in the next.
Thomas S. Monson
This is my philosophy on all life, not just when it comes to love. All the best things are terrifying, but that's why they're the best things. Nothing worth having comes easy. You have to be afraid to want it, afraid to lose it, afraid to try. If you feel that, then you know you're on to a winner.
Thomas S. Monson
When fear replaces faith, remember prayer.
Thomas S. Monson
Look to the lighthouse of the Lord. There is no fog so dense, no night so dark, no gale so strong, no mariner so lost but what its beacon light can rescue.
Thomas S. Monson
May we show increased kindness toward one another, and may we ever be found doing the work of the Lord.
Thomas S. Monson
Life by the yard is hard by the inch it's a cinch. Each of us can be true for just one day--and then one more and then one more after that--until we've lived a lifetime guided by the Spirit, a lifetime close to the Lord, a lifetime of good deeds and righteousness.
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
Think to Thank. In these three words are the finest capsule course for a happy marriage, formula for enduring friendship, and a pattern for personal happiness.
Thomas S. Monson
Dedicated missionary service returns a dividend of eternal joy which extends throughout mortality and into eternity.
Thomas S. Monson
We do not find truth groveling through error.
Thomas S. Monson
I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples.
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
Stand for right, even if you stand alone.
Thomas S. Monson
No problem is too small for His attention nor so large that He cannot answer the prayer of faith. Prayer surely is the passport to spiritual power.
Thomas S. Monson
…Faith forged in the furnace of trials and tears is marked by trust and testimony. Only God can count the sacrifice only God can measure the sorrow only God can know the hearts of those who serve Him.
Thomas S. Monson
There is absolutely nothing in this world that will provide more comfort and happiness than a testimony of the truth.
Thomas S. Monson
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
May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender caring heart as our gift to the Savior.
Thomas S. Monson
Don’t limit yourself and don’t let others convince you that you are limited in what you can do. Believe in yourself and then live so as to reach your possibilities. You can achieve what you believe you can. Trust and believe and have faith.
Thomas S. Monson
It’s not enough to wish, it’s not enough to dream, it’s not enough to promise. We must do.
Thomas S. Monson
