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.

May we show increased kindness toward one another, and may we ever be found doing the work of the Lord.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
With all the strength of my soul, I testify that God lives, that His Beloved Son is the firstfruits of the Resurrection, that the gospel of Jesus Christ is that penetrating light that makes of every hopeless dawn a joyful morning.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
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
Image
…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

The gospel of Jesus Christ is that penetrating light which shines through the darkness of our lives.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Whatever our calling, regardless of our fears or anxieties, let us pray and then go and do.

Image
Life by the yard is hard by the inch it's a cinch. Each of us can be true for just one day--and then one more and then one more after that--until we've lived a lifetime guided by the Spirit, a lifetime close to the Lord, a lifetime of good deeds and righteousness.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is important.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
God and mother, partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Family prayer is the greatest deterrent to sin, and hence the most beneficent provider of joy and happiness. The old saying is yet true: 'The family that prays together stays together.'
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Loving service anonymously given may be unknown to man-but the gift and the giver are known to God.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Each of our temples is an expression of our testimony that life beyond the grave is as real and as certain as is our life here on earth.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Life by the yard is hard by the inch it's a cinch. Decisions Determine Destiny.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Choose a field that will supply sufficient remuneration to provide adequately for your companion and your children. I bear testimony that these criteria are very important in choosing your life's work.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
None of us will honor our Heavenly Father and our Savior more than by serving as a devoted, compassionate missionary, For them that honour me I will honour.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
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

We forget how the Greeks and Romans prevailed magnificently in a barbaric world and how that triumph ended-how a slackness and softness finally overcame them to their ruin. In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security and a comfortable life and they lost all-comfort and security and freedom.
Thomas S. Monson
