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
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
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

Thomas S. Monson

Thomas S. Monson
Be not weary in well-doing. … Out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind.
Thomas S. Monson
