Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others.
Thomas S. MonsonWe learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass.
Thomas S. MonsonNo problem is too small for His attention nor so large that He cannot answer the prayer of faith. Prayer surely is the passport to spiritual power.
Thomas S. MonsonTo be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible.
Thomas S. MonsonThe work is demanding, the impact everlasting. This is no time for 'summer soldiers' in the army of the Lord.
