We cannot know what faith is if we have never had it, and we cannot obtain it as long as we deny it. Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other.
Thomas S. MonsonSo much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference.
Thomas S. MonsonChoose 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. MonsonWe are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness... We are the Lordโs hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us
Thomas S. MonsonGod left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity in the cloud, the oil in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gives to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation.
Thomas S. Monson
