As a result of the sacred ordinances performed in the holy house of God, no light need be permanently extinguished, no voice permanently stilled, no place in our heart permanently left vacant.

Perhaps when we face our maker, we will not be asked, 'How many positions did you hold,' but rather, 'How many people did you help?
Thomas S. Monson
Image
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
Image
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

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.

In the private sanctuary of one's own conscience lies that spirit, that determination to cast off the old person and to measure up to the statue of true potential.

Image
We do not find truth groveling through error.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
When we deal in generalities, we shall never succeed. When we deal in specifics, we shall rarely have a failure. When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of performance accelerates.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

The most constant thing is change.

Without a goal there can be no real success.

Life by the yard is hard by the inch it's a cinch. Decisions Determine Destiny.

Image
Each of our temples is an expression of our testimony that life beyond the grave is as real and as certain as is our life here on earth.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
In the search for our best selves, several questions will guide our thinking: Am I what I want to be? Am I closer to the Savior today than I was yesterday? Will I be closer yet tomorrow? Do I have the courage to change for the better?
Thomas S. Monson
Image
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
Image
Because sexual intimacy is so sacred, the Lord requires self-control and purity before marriage, as well as full fidelity after marriage... Tears inevitably follow transgression. Men, take care not to make women weep, for God counts their tears.

Several years ago my dear wife went to the hospital. She left a note behind for the children: Dear children, do not let Daddy touch the microwave - followed by a comma, or the stove, or the dishwasher, or the dryer. I'm embarrassed to add any more to that list.

Make room for the Lord in your homes and in your hearts, and He will be your companion. He will be by your side.

May we show increased kindness toward one another, and may we ever be found doing the work of the Lord.
