Self-discipline is a rigorous process at best; too many of us want it to be effortless and painless.
Thomas S. MonsonGod left the world unfinished; the pictures unpainted, the songs unsung, and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys of creation.
Thomas S. MonsonWe become so caught up in the busyness of our lives. Were we to step back, however, and take a good look at what we’re doing, we may find that we have immersed ourselves in the “thick of thin things.” In other words, too often we spend most of our time taking care of the things which do not really matter much at all in the grand scheme of things, neglecting those more important causes.
