When we safeguard (the heavenly virtue of freedom), when we honor it, when we protect it, we will walk with Washington, we will pray with patriots, and we shall have peace on earth, good will to men.
Thomas S. MonsonIt is impossible to stand upright when one plants his roots in the shifting sands of popular opinion and approval.
Thomas S. MonsonA woman needs to be told she is beautiful. She needs to be told she is valued. She needs to be told she is worthwhile.
Thomas S. MonsonThe spirit must be freed from tethers so strong and feelings never put to rest, so that the lift of life may give buoyancy to the soul. In many families, there are hurt feelings and a reluctance to forgive. It doesnโt really matter what the issue was. It cannot and should not be left to injure. Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals. George Herbert, an early 17th-century poet, wrote these lines: โHe that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven, for everyone has need of forgiveness.โ
