Thomas S. Monson Quotes

We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again.

Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.

I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be.

I just enjoy the ride while I have it.

I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not miss a shred of sunlight. It'll be over before I know it.

The future doesn't matter if I don't enjoy what's going on right now.

Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last.

Nothing is worth more than this day.

Life took over 4 billion years to evolve into you, and you've about 70 more years to enjoy it. Don't just pursue happiness, catch it.

For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.

We take things for granted, and because we wake up every day, you start talking about what you're going to do next week. I said, 'Who told you you would be here next week?'

If you spend all of your time racing ahead to the future, you're liable to discover you've left a great present behind.

I live in the day. Yes, I make plans for tomorrow, but I don't get so consumed by it. The time you spend with your family and friends, whatever you could be doing, enjoy them now. I live in the day.

None of us can be sure of how long we will live. Because this is so, I think you should try not to think too much about dying but think about all the nice things that make life so precious to us all.

I live in the moment. The moment is the most important thing. That's my entire philosophy: Make the best of the good moments.

Life is not promised forever. That's the biggest thing that I learned and I enjoy and I will take with me past this pandemic, is just being able to appreciate every little thing that goes on.

I don't take tomorrow for granted.

I take each thing as it comes and appreciate everything that's in front of me now because people in this industry are so fixated on the next thing that they don't enjoy the moment. It passes you by, and all of a sudden, it's over.

Believe me, I go and go, 'cause I know how short life is, and I know how very blessed all of us are to be here and how very short it is.

Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.

We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.

Driving home, it's all I can do to keep from crying. Time's come, time's gone, time's never returning, I say to myself. What's here in front of me is all I've got, I decide, and as I drive my car through the blowing snow it doesn't seem like much, except for the kindness that I've just exchanged with an old lady, so I concentrate on that.

Do not act as if you had a thousand years to live.

The passing moment is all we can be sure of; it is only common sense to extract its utmost value from it.

Enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate.
