More quotes by Thomas S. Monson
In the private sanctuary of one's own conscience lies that spirit, that determination to cast off the old person and to measure up to the statue of true potential.
Thomas S. Monson
Wishing will not make it so. The Lord expects our thinking. He expects our action. He expects our labors. He expects our testimonies. He expects our devotion.
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
Through tears and trials, through fears and sorrows, through the heartache and loneliness of losing loved ones, there is assurance that life is everlasting. Our Lord and Savior is the living witness that such is so.
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
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
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
Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.
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
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
Few see beyond the outward appearance And recognize the true worth of a human soul. When they do, miracles occur.
Thomas S. Monson
You will never be able to measure your influence for good.
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
Stand for right, even if you stand alone.
Thomas S. Monson
The greatest force in the world today is the power of God as it works through man.
Thomas S. Monson
Pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good.
Thomas S. Monson
There are lives to brighten. There are hearts to touch. There are souls to save.
Thomas S. Monson
When you’re on the Lord’s errand, you’re entitled to the Lord’s blessings.
Thomas S. Monson
There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save
Thomas S. Monson
There is absolutely nothing in this world that will provide more comfort and happiness than a testimony of the truth.
Thomas S. Monson
