Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values

We were not placed on this earth to walk alone.
Thomas S. Monson
The Lord shapes the back to bear the burden placed upon it.
Thomas S. Monson
The gospel of Jesus Christ is that penetrating light which shines through the darkness of our lives.
Thomas S. Monson
Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.
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
How long has it been since you looked into the eyes of your mother and, holding nothing back, spoke those welcome words, 'Mother, I truly love you'? How about Father, who daily toils to provide for you? Fathers appreciate hearing those same precious words from the lips of a child, 'I love you.'
Thomas S. Monson
Missionary service is a priesthood duty.
Thomas S. Monson
Love is the catalyst that causes change. Love is the balm that brings healing to the soul.
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
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
Though we may not necessarily forfeit our lives in service to our God, we can certainly demonstrate our love for Him by how well we serve Him.
Thomas S. Monson
Through humble prayer, diligent preparation, and faithful service, we can succeed in our sacred callings.
Thomas S. Monson
Youth need less critics and more models.
Thomas S. Monson
Have an attitude of gratitude.
Thomas S. Monson
I acknowledge that I do not understand the processes of creation, but I accept the fact of it.
Thomas S. Monson
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.
Thomas S. Monson
Dedicated missionary service returns a dividend of eternal joy which extends throughout mortality and into eternity.
Thomas S. Monson
Along that straight and true path there are other goals: missionary service, temple marriage, Church activity, scripture study, prayer, temple work. There are countless worthy goals to reach as we travel through life. Needed is our commitment to reach them.
Thomas S. Monson
There are lives to brighten. There are hearts to touch. There are souls to save.
Thomas S. Monson
We do not find truth groveling through error.
