More From Thomas S. Monson

Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.
Afterlife People Drug
You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
Memories Eye Passion
The promise, made when i am in love and because i am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as i live, commits me to being true even if i cease to be in love. a promise must be about things that i can do, about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling in a certain way. he might as well promise to never have a headache or always to feel hungry.
Long Feelings Promise
If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.
Strong Children Kissing
When you say 'yes' or promise something, you can very easily deceive yourself and others also, as if you had already done what you promised. it is easy to think that by making a promise you have at least done part of what you promised to do, as if the promise itself were something of value. not at all! in fact, when you do not do what you promise, it is a long way back to the truth.
Christian Thinking Long
Always' was a promise! how can you just break the promise?" "sometimes people don't always understand the promises they're making when they make them," i said. isaac shot me a look. "right, of course. but you keep the promise anyway. that's what love is. love is keeping the promise anyway. don't you believe in true love?" i didn't answer. i didn't have an answer. but i thought that if true love did exist, that was a pretty good definition of it.
