So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment.

— Thomas S. Monson

Attitude

More quotes by Thomas S. Monson

Remember that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other.

Choose your friends with caution; plan your future with purpose, and frame your life with faith.

Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service performed all precede that goal of eternal life.

Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.

Amidst the confusion of the times, the conflicts of conscience, and the turmoil of daily living, an abiding faith becomes an anchor to our lives.
