When you're at a funeral and you're crying, you're crying for yourself
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
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
Amidst the confusion of the times, the conflicts of conscience, and the turmoil of daily living, an abiding faith becomes an anchor to our lives.
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
There is no tomorrow to remember if we don’t do something today, and to live most fully today, we must do that which is of greatest importance. Let us not procrastinate those things which matter most.
Thomas S. Monson
In the temple we can find peace. The blessings of the temple are priceless.
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
Anger does not solve anything it builds nothing.
Thomas S. Monson
The knowledge which we seek, the answers for which we yearn, and the strength which we desire today to meet the challenges of a complex and changing world can be ours when we willingly obey the Lord’s commandments.
Thomas S. Monson
Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.
Thomas S. Monson
Dedicated missionary service returns a dividend of eternal joy which extends throughout mortality and into eternity.
Thomas S. Monson
Spiritual strength frequently comes through selfless service.
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
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 your pathway of life you will observe that you are not the only traveler. There are others who need your help. There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save.
Thomas S. Monson
Decisions determine destiny.
Thomas S. Monson
As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always.
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
Vice never leads to virtue. Hate never promotes love. Cowardice never gives courage. Doubt never inspires faith.
Thomas S. Monson
