More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
The storm stops at the door. Love reigns, peace dwells.
Thomas S. Monson
When we safeguard (the heavenly virtue of freedom), when we honor it, when we protect it, we will walk with Washington, we will pray with patriots, and we shall have peace on earth, good will to men.
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
Ideals are like the stars - you can't touch them with your hands, but by following them you reach your destination.
Thomas S. Monson
We tend to become like those whom we admire.
Thomas S. Monson
Life is perfect for none of us. Rather than being judgmental and critical of each other, may we have the pure love of Christ for our fellow travelers in this journey through life.
Thomas S. Monson
Miracles are everywhere to be found when priesthood callings are magnified. When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes. The priesthood is not really so much a gift as it is a commission to serve, a privilege to lift, and an opportunity to bless the lives of others.
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
Stand for right, even if you stand alone.
Thomas S. Monson
I testify to you today that turning away from God brings broken covenants, shattered dreams, and crushed hopes. Such a quagmire of quicksand I plead with you to avoid. You are of a noble birthright. Eternal life in the kingdom of our Father is your goal.
Thomas S. Monson
We must learn to separate need from greed...We must not allow our yearnings to exceed our earnings.
Thomas S. Monson
Recent surveys of Church members have shown a serious erosion in the number of families who have a year's supply of life's necessities. Most members plan to do it. Too few have begun... It is our sacred duty to care for our families, including our extended families.
Thomas S. Monson
May we be faithful followers of Christ, examples of righteousness, thus becoming lights in the world.
Thomas S. Monson
To live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.
Thomas S. Monson
Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with family and friends.
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
Make room for the Lord in your homes and in your hearts, and He will be your companion. He will be by your side.
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
We must not let our passions destroy our dreams.
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
