In sickness, with its attendant pain, patience is required. If the only perfect man who ever lived-even Jesus of Nazareth-was called upon to endure great suffering, how can we, who are less than perfect, expect to be free of such challenges?
Thomas S. MonsonThe world around you is not equipped to provide the help you need to make it through this often treacherous journey.
Thomas S. MonsonWe must learn to separate need from greed...We must not allow our yearnings to exceed our earnings.
Thomas S. MonsonThere is no tomorrow to remember if we donโt do something today, and to live most fully today, we must do that which is of greatest importance. Let us not procrastinate those things which matter most.
Thomas S. MonsonAll of us are prone to excuse our own mediocre performance. We blame our misfortunes, our disfigurements, our so-called handicaps. Victims of our own rationalization, we say silently to ourselves, 'I'm just too weak,' or 'I'm not cut out for better things.' Others soar beyond our meager accomplishments. Envy and discouragement take their toll. .
