Thomas S. Monson Quotes

There is always a reason to be grateful.

So many people say, "I just don't have a good job, or my marriage is not where it's supposed to be." Really it's excuse after excuse to not be happy. To me it's a waste.

In every aspect of life, I consider myself incredibly fortunate.
