More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
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
The greatest force in the world today is the power of God as it works through man.
Thomas S. Monson
When we encounter challenges and problems in our lives, it is often difficult for us to focus on our blessings. However, if we reach deep enough and look hard enough, we will be able to feel and recognize just how much we have been given.
Thomas S. Monson
Find joy in the journey.
Thomas S. Monson
We were not placed on this earth to walk alone.
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
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
We tend to become like those whom we admire.
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
A prominent judge was asked what we, as citizens of the countries of the world, could do to reduce crime and disobedience to law and to bring peace and contentment into our lives and into our nations. He thoughtfully replied, ‘I would suggest a return to the old-fashioned practice of family prayer.’
Thomas S. Monson
Prayer can solve more problems, alleviate more suffering, prevent more transgression, and bring about greater peace and contentment in the human soul than can be obtained in any other way.
Thomas S. Monson
…Faith forged in the furnace of trials and tears is marked by trust and testimony. Only God can count the sacrifice only God can measure the sorrow only God can know the hearts of those who serve Him.
Thomas S. Monson
When you're at a funeral and you're crying, you're crying for yourself
Thomas S. Monson
The Lord’s purposes are often accomplished as we pay heed to the guidance of the Spirit. I believe that the more we act upon the inspiration and impressions which come to us, the more the Lord will entrust to us His errands.
Thomas S. Monson
Your patriarchal blessing is your passport to peace in this life. It is a Liahona of light to guide you unerringly to your heavenly home.
Thomas S. Monson
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
Gracias, danke, merci - whatever language is spoken, thank you frequently expressed will cheer your spirit, broaden your friendships, and lift your lives to a higher pathway as you journey toward perfection. There is a simplicity - even a sincerity - when thank you is spoken.
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.
Thomas S. Monson
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: ‘I know that my Redeemer lives!’
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
