Thomas S. Monson Quotes

There's nothing more rewarding than making a difference doing charity work or being able to be there for a friend.

Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don't live in a world all of your own

Each one of us can do a good deed, every day and everywhere. In hospitals in desperate need of volunteers, in homes for the elderly where our parents and grandparents are longing for a smile, a listening ear, in the street, in our workplaces and especially at home.

You cannot be so poor that you cannot help somebody.

Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.

There are many ways to serve.

I think it's important for service to be a part of your life instead of an option. It's awesome to make it a point to do something that's gonna make the world slightly better than you left it.

I want to be able to serve people. For that it's important that I'm with them, among them and working for them.

You can always give something, even if it is only kindness.

What are you doing for others?

Charity isn't about pity, it is about love.

When you reach out to others in need, when you reach out to the world, you really do have a satisfying life by helping others.

I'm always satisfied with going to soup kitchens or homeless shelters. A big one for me is children's hospitals. I love spending time with kids, rooting for them, making them laugh. Any small act of kindness is just as important as a donation. So volunteer. Go out there and see how you can make a difference and help someone.

Because I survived, I must do everything possible to help others.

Even if you don't have anything, even if you've got a quarter in your pocket, to share with someone else who has nothing really helps.

It is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom. . . . So often, our acts of service consist of simple encouragement or of giving . . . help with mundane tasks, but what glorious consequences can flow . . . from small but deliberate deeds!

If you start to give of yourself, be it ever so simple a fashion, the world will observe your spirit and show you many needs that you can supply. There are a hundred ways of giving away little margins of time you will never miss, which could be riches to someone.

I try to make myself do things for other people when I'm feeling down. Like, you can call your local hospital and help out in the pediatric unit.

I've been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It's very important to give back as a youth. It's as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant.

I really enjoy being able to spend my time doing different charitable and philanthropic activities.

I believe in giving back.

Do some selfless service for people who are in need. Consider the whole picture, not just our little selves.

Acting is a smaller piece in a big puzzle. There are charity things I want to immerse myself in and want to have the time to go and give back to people who don't have the opportunities I have. It's a very important thing to me.

I spend as much time as I possibly can doing things for other people, if I can. If I see a need and I feel that I can help, I do it. I work a great deal in terms of charities and things.

I think it's really important to give back and show other people that you care.
