More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
May we give as the Savior gave. To give of oneself is a holy gift. We give as a remembrance of all the Savior has given.
Thomas S. Monson
The work is demanding, the impact everlasting. This is no time for 'summer soldiers' in the army of the Lord.
Thomas S. Monson
Raising children, be aware that the piles and piles of laundry will disappear all too soon and that you will, to your surprise, miss them profoundly.
Thomas S. Monson
Ideals are like the stars - you can't touch them with your hands, but by following them you reach your destination.
Thomas S. Monson
It is almost inevitable that our faith will be challenged. We may at times find ourselves surrounded by others and yet standing in the minority or even standing alone concerning what is acceptable and what is not. Do we have the moral courage to stand firm for our beliefs, even if by so doing we must stand alone?
Thomas S. Monson
We must learn to separate need from greed...We must not allow our yearnings to exceed our earnings.
Thomas S. Monson
It is not enough to want to make the effort... it's in the doing, not just the thinking that we accomplish our goals.
Thomas S. Monson
Our opportunities to give of ourselves are indeed limitless, but they are also perishable.
Thomas S. Monson
Home should be a haven of love. Honor, courtesy, and respect symbolize love and characterize the righteous family.
Thomas S. Monson
We are going to make mistakes, but none of us can become an expert in family history work without first being a novice.
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.
Thomas S. Monson
I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples.
Thomas S. Monson
A friend is more concerned about helping people than getting credit. A friend cares. A friend loves. A friend listens. And a friend reaches out.
Thomas S. Monson
Help others in their race of life. Remember that when you help another up a mountain, you are a little nearer the top yourself.
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
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
Choose good friends. Friends help to determine your future. You will tend to be like them and to be found where they choose to go. Remember, the path we follow in this life leads to the path we follow in the next.
Thomas S. Monson
It’s not enough to wish, it’s not enough to dream, it’s not enough to promise. We must do.
Thomas S. Monson
Happiness comes when we stop complaining about the troubles we have and offer thanks for all the troubles we don't have.
Thomas S. Monson
There will come into every life moments of despair and the need for direction from a divine source-even an unspoken plea for help.
Thomas S. Monson
