Thomas S. Monson Quotes

Obstacles are merely a call to strengthen your resolve to achieve your worthwhile goals.

Courage is required to make an initial thrust toward one's coveted goal, but even greater courage is called for when one stumbles and must make a second effort to achieve. Have the determination to make the effort, the single-mindedne ss to work toward a worthy goal, and the courage not only to face the challenges that inevitably come but also to make a second effort, should such be required.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

A lot of times, people say that if you work hard and never give up, it will always work out, which is a great message. However, that's not always the case.

Almost anything difficult, any challenge takes time, patience, and hard work.

If you work hard and be persistent, you will achieve whatever you want to do.

Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.

There's nothing in this world that comes easy. There are a lot of people who aren't going to bother to win. We learn in football to get up and go once more.

When the path becomes difficult, that's no reason to give up. In fact, it means you're making real progress.

Resistance is a powerful motivator precisely because it enables us to fulfill our longing to achieve our goals while letting us boldly recognize and name the obstacles to those achievements.

Achievement requires more than a vision - it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality

If you hang in there long enough, you will eventually reach your goal.

Persistence is a secret weapon for everyone.

I still take losing out very seriously. But it inspires me that much more to move on. Quite often in my business, it's not the most talented people that succeed. Because they don't necessarily have the tenacity to deal with rejection.

Success is not the absence of failure; it's the persistence through failure.

Persist and persevere, and you will find most things that are attainable, possible.

You have to be persistent.

Quitting is never an option.
