The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance. Do not be deceived behind that facade is heartache, unhappiness and pain. .. YOU be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.

Thomas S. Monson

One man said, I looked at my brother through the microscope of criticism, and I said, How coarse my brother is. Then I looked at my brother through the telescope of scorn, and I said, How small my brother is. Then I looked into the mirror of truth and I said, How like me my brother is.

Wishing will not make it so. The Lord expects our thinking. He expects our action. He expects our labors. He expects our testimonies. He expects our devotion.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
We forget how the Greeks and Romans prevailed magnificently in a barbaric world and how that triumph ended-how a slackness and softness finally overcame them to their ruin. In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security and a comfortable life and they lost all-comfort and security and freedom.

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.
