Temples are more than stone and mortar. They are filled with faith and fasting. They are built of trials and testimonies. They are sanctified by sacrifice and service.

More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
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.
Thomas S. Monson
The greatest force in the world today is the power of God as it works through man.
Thomas S. Monson
Testimony bearing is the key to missionary work
Thomas S. Monson
Who the Lord calls, the Lord will qualify.
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
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
No problem is too small for His attention nor so large that He cannot answer the prayer of faith. Prayer surely is the passport to spiritual power.
Thomas S. Monson
Children learn through gentle direction and persuasive teaching.
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
We are reminded that anger doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.
Thomas S. Monson
My earnest prayer is that you will have the courage required to refrain from judging others, the courage to be chaste and virtuous, and the courage to stand firm for truth and righteousness. As you do so, you will be ‘an example of the believers’ (1 Timothy 4:12), and your life will be filled with love and peace and joy.
Thomas S. Monson
Pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good.
Thomas S. Monson
May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender caring heart as our gift to the Savior.
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
Each of us has much for which to be grateful if we will but pause and contemplate our blessings.
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
I urge you to live within your means. One cannot spend more than one earns and remain solvent. I promise you that you will then be happier than you would be if you were constantly worrying about how to make the next payment on nonessential debt.
Thomas S. Monson
Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.
Thomas S. Monson
Miracles are everywhere to be found when the priesthood is understood, its power is honored and used properly, and faith is exerted.
Thomas S. Monson
We need to learn how to separate need from greed.
Thomas S. Monson
