Can we somehow muster the courage and steadfastness of purpose that characterized the pioneers of a former generation? Can you and I, in actual fact, be pioneers [today]?
Thomas S. MonsonIdeals are like the stars - you can't touch them with your hands, but by following them you reach your destination.
Thomas S. MonsonNone of us makes it through this life without problems and challenges โ and sometimes tragedies and misfortunes. After all, in large part we are here to learn and grow from such events in our lives. We know that there are times when we will suffer, when we will grieve, and when we will be saddened. However, we are told, โAdam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.โ How might we have joy in our lives, despite all that we may face? Again from the scriptures: โWherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you."
Thomas S. Monson
