More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
Miracles are everywhere to be found when priesthood callings are magnified. When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes. The priesthood is not really so much a gift as it is a commission to serve, a privilege to lift, and an opportunity to bless the lives of others.
Thomas S. Monson
Youth of the Church, the world is in need of your help. There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save. The harvest truly is great. Let there be no mistake about it the missionary opportunity of a lifetime is yours.
Thomas S. Monson
The most constant thing is change.
Thomas S. Monson
Difficulties allow us to change for the better.
Thomas S. Monson
Work without vision is drudgery. Vision without work is dreaming. Work coupled with vision is destiny.
Thomas S. Monson
Fill your mind with truth fill your heart with love fill your life with service.
Thomas S. Monson
Prayer continues to provide power--spiritual power. Prayer continues to provide peace--spiritual peace.
Thomas S. Monson
Temples are more than stone and mortar. They are filled with faith and fasting. They are built of trials and testimonies. They are sanctified by sacrifice and service.
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
Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed-the courage to say no, the courage to say yes. Decisions do determine destiny. I plead with you to make a determination right here, right now, not to deviate from the path which will lead to our goal: eternal life with our Father in Heaven.
Thomas S. Monson
Make room for the Lord in your homes and in your hearts, and He will be your companion. He will be by your side.
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
Family prayer is the greatest deterrent to sin, and hence the most beneficent provider of joy and happiness. The old saying is yet true: 'The family that prays together stays together.'
Thomas S. Monson
Have we been guilty of declaring, 'I've been thinking about making some course corrections in my life. I plan to take the first step-tomorrow'? With such thinking, tomorrow is forever. Such tomorrows rarely come unless we do something about them today.
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
Stick to a task 'til it sticks to you. . .for beginners are many, but finishers few.
Thomas S. Monson
Of course, we will face fear, experience ridicule, and meet opposition. Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle. Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.
Thomas S. Monson
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.
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
Few see beyond the outward appearance And recognize the true worth of a human soul. When they do, miracles occur.
Thomas S. Monson
