More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
A friend is more concerned about helping people than getting credit. A friend cares. A friend loves. A friend listens. And a friend reaches out.
Thomas S. Monson
No temptation, no pressure, no enticing can overcome us unless we allow such. If we make the wrong choice, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
Thomas S. Monson
Avoid pornography at all costs!
Thomas S. Monson
Your mind is a cupboard and you stock the shelves.
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
Do not yield to Satan's enticements rather, stand firm for truth. The unsatisfied yearnings of the soul will not be met by a never-ending quest for joy amidst the thrills of sensation and vice. Vice never leads to virtue. Hate never promotes love. Cowardice never gives courage. Doubt never inspires faith.
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
A woman needs to be told she is beautiful. She needs to be told she is valued. She needs to be told she is worthwhile.
Thomas S. Monson
The Lord shapes the back to bear the burden placed upon it.
Thomas S. Monson
The Lord is in the details of our lives.
Thomas S. Monson
[The Lord] has indicated that the greatest work we parents can do is performed in our homes, and our homes can be heaven, particularly when our marriages are sealed in the house of God.
Thomas S. Monson
Vice never leads to virtue. Hate never promotes love. Cowardice never gives courage. Doubt never inspires faith.
Thomas S. Monson
Home should be a haven of love. Honor, courtesy, and respect symbolize love and characterize the righteous family.
Thomas S. Monson
Remember who you are and what God expects you to become.
Thomas S. Monson
We are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness... We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us
Thomas S. Monson
Reading is one of the true pleasures of life. In our age of mass culture, when so much that we encounter is abridged,adapted, adulterated, shredded, and boiled down, it is mind-easing and mind-inspiring to sit down privately with a congenial book.
Thomas S. Monson
God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there.
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
Do we have a guide to help us choose the right and avoid dangerous detours? I have tried to pattern my life after the Master. Whenever I have a difficult decision to make, I have looked at that picture and asked myself, What would He do? Then I try to do it. We can never go wrong when we choose to follow the Savior.
Thomas S. Monson
Those who understand the eternal blessings which come from the temple know that no sacrifice is too great, no price too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings.
Thomas S. Monson
