Attitude of Gratitude

"We can lift ourselves, and other as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues."

Thomas S. Monson

Sunday Best is Not Going to the Beach

"We used to speak of 'best dress' or 'Sunday dress' and maybe we should do so again. ... [W]e have always be invited to present our best selves inside and out. Our clothing or footwear need never be expensive, indeed should not be expensive, but neither should it appear that we are on our way to the beach... We should be recognizable in appearance as well as in behavior that we truly are disciples of Christ... [and] that we truly desire the Savior's Spirit to be with us always."

Jeffrey R. Holland

Write Down Impressions

"You will find that as you write down precious impressions, often more will come. Also, the knowledge you gain will be available throughout your life. Always, day or night, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, seek to recognize and respond to the direction of the Spirit. Express gratitude for the help received and obey it. This practice will reinforce your capacity to learn by the spirit. It will permit the Lord to guide your life and to enrich the use of every other capacity latent in your being."

Richard G. Scott

A Better Woman

"I am satisfied that every man or woman who goes to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and faith leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman. There is need for constant improvement in all our lives. There is need occasionally to leave the noise and the tumult of the world and step within the walls of a sacred house of God, there to feel His Spirit in an environment of holiness and peace."

Gordon B. Hinckley

Scriptures Every Day

"The Holy Ghost will guide what we say if we study and ponder the scriptures every day ... with daily study of the scriptures, we can count on this blessing even in casual conversations or in a class when we may be asked by a teacher to respond to a question."

Henry B. Eyring

What Books are you Reading?

"The standard is clear. If something we think, see, hear, or do distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should stop thinking, seeing, hearing, or doing that thing. If that which is intended to entertain, for example, alienates us from the Holy Spirit, then certainly that type of entertainment is not for us."

David A. Bednar

Rudeness is Contagious

"Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness."

Neal A. Maxwell
