Thomas s. monson

I counseled many returning missionaries. I interviewed 1,700 missionaries all over the world. My advice to them is that you should study and prepare for your life's work in a field that you enjoy.

I forbid you, agnostic, doubting thoughts, to destroy the house of my faith.

We tend to become like those whom we admire.

I hope that you will learn to take responsibility for your decisions. don't take counsel of your fears.

We may not only find faith in God in our sorrow. We may also become faithful to Him in times of calm.

I wasn't with Joseph, but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it.

One sees a blatant disregard for the precious souls of mankind.

I acknowledge that I do not understand the processes of creation, but I accept the fact of it.

Choose your love, Love your choice.

On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.
