Integrity Quote Book
Hello!

This is my Integrity project for Personal Progress. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to 1000 quotes,
that is the goal. This is actually my second time around doing this since my last one got deleted
when my dad wiped the computer. He was unaware that I had the project there, so I had put in
about four or five hours of work and maybe a third of the quotes done when it disappeared. I do
feel a bit guilty not picking it up again for a very long time, but a fellow young woman reached
out to me last night asking about how I was doing with my quote book since I had told her about
how I had started. So now, here we are. I hope that I’ll be able to help myself see how important
this value is through this compilation of words and maybe be able to help others with this as
well.

Since integrity is sticking to your morals and being true to your beliefs, I have 100 quotes for
each value since they all sort of fall under integrity, but I’ll have about 200 quotes for integrity
and about 100 for miscellaneous topics.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the quotes.

Manissa :)
FAITH

“Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things
which are not seen, which are true”
- Alma 32:21

Faith is all about believing, you don’t know how it will happen, but you know it will.

Your faith can move mountains and your doubt can create them.

Worry ends when faith in God begins.

Faith is like WiFi. It’s invisible, but it has the power to connect you to what you need.

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain, but He did
promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.

Faith makes all things possible. Love makes all things easy. Hope makes all things work.

Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness

Sometimes the best things you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just
breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.

Prayer is bringing your wishes and worries to God; faith is leaving them there

Believe in yourself and you will be unstoppable

work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.

has
- Swami Vivekananda

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is
possible

Keep the faith. The most amazing things in life tend to happen right at the moment you’re about
to give up hope

Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.
- Rabindranath Tagore

Disappointments are just God’s way of saying “I have got something better”. Be patient, have
faith, trust God.
Many times when God isn’t changing your circumstance it’s because He’s mostly concerned
with changing YOU within the circumstance. Your character, your inner strength, your integrity
matter to Him because they are everlasting qualities. The wisdom, the strength and the maturity
that grows within you are all things you’re going to need to sustain the calling God has on your
life. Know that there is a purpose in your pain.

your destiny-to return to your heavenly home in honor.

Young women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, remember who you are! You
are elect. You are daughters of God. You cannot be a generation of young women who are
content to fit in. You must have the courage to stand out, to “arise and shine forth, that thy light
may be a standard for the nations.” The world would have you believe that you are not
significant-that you are out of fashion and out of touch. The world calls to you with unrelenting,
noisy voices to “live it up,” “try everything,” “experiment and be happy.” Conversely, the Holy
ghost whispers and the Lord invites you to “walk in the paths of virtue,” “lay aside the things of
this world,” “and cleave unto [your] covenants.”

hate themselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to

of the restored gospel, and find out what they mean for you personally. Learn to see yourself as
Heavenly Father sees you-as His precious daughter or son with divine potential.
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Your mission is unique and distinctive for you. Please don’t make another have to take your
place. He or she can’t do it as well as you can. If you will let Him I testify that our Father in
Heaven will walk with you through the journey of life and inspire you to know your special
purpose here

He takes great care. He works on every detail. He makes them precious and rare. He lovingly

snowflakes, imagine what He thinks about you.

Beauty is not measured by the World’s standards. A woman with true beauty can feel gorgeous
without makeup. A woman with true beauty has a mind filled with knowledge and wisdom and
not seeking fame. She isn’t obsessed with herself or her looks. A woman who is truly gorgeous
loves others, loves God, and gives her time to service. True beauty isn’t comparing ourselves to
others, it’s being their friend, understanding them. It’s not found in popularity or money it’s found
in hard working, talented women. And most of all not those who see the negative or flaws. But
those who see the good in life, are happy, are cheerful, and confident. That’s what beauty is it’s
inner self worth. Not size or looks, or worldly things. It’s a love of God and all of mankind
- Courtney Castrey

To any who may be struggling to see that light and find that hope, I say: Hold on. Keep trying.

Be True. Be true to who you are. Be true to the parents who are rearing you and caring for you.
Be true to the family whose name you bear. Be true to the land and country you call home. Be
true to those within your circle of friendship. And most of all, be true to yourself
- Gordon B. Hinckley, Way to Be!

Be true to the truth! How cheaply some men and women sell their good names!
- Gordon B. Hinckley, Way to Be!

compromised in the process

original souls left on earth. Just wait till dishonesty kills dishonesty

Leave your troubles with the Lord, and He will defend you; He never lets honest people be
defeated

simplest terms, self-mastery is doing those things we should do and not doing those things we
should not do. It requires strength, willpower, and honesty
- James E. Faust

Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain’t
lawful tender for a loaf of bread

Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest

else as an essential to leadership

If you lose your integrity, you will also lose your identity, your sensitivity, and your dignity.
Integrity is honesty, modesty, and security in all kinds of weather. It should be our priority!
- Israelmore Ayivor

We will never solve our problems simply by instituting new laws and regulations. Ultimately, the
source of our problems lies at the level of the individual. If people lack moral values and
integrity, no system of laws and regulations will be adequate. So long as people give priority to
material values, then injustice, inequity, intolerance, and greed - all the outward manifestations
of neglect of inner values - will persist
- Dalai Lama
Integrity, or the lack of it, touches almost every facet of our lives - everything we say, every
thought and desire
- N. Eldon Tanner

committed relations

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not
gold
- Leo Tolstoy

Before us lie two paths - honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest
path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth; in helping others we help ourselves;

Truth will rise above falsehood as oil above water

Honesty is never seen sitting astride the fence

Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully

Truth is such a rare thing, it is delightful to tell it


- Emily Dickinson

People with integrity do what they say they are going to do. Others have excuses

In all humility and sincerity we must admit a power higher than ourselves from whom is derived
a positive moral code that will give our lives significance and purpose. We also must remember
once and for all that honesty, respect, and honor as such are not for sale on the market block.
They are ingredients that you and I and all people should put into our daily lives
- Delbert L. Stapley
It is indeed remarkable that the nature of our dealings with our fellowmen will determine, in large
measure, our status in the kingdom of heaven. ...We may attend to rites and rituals and yet
overlook the weightier matters such as brotherly kindness, honesty, mercy, virtue, and integrity.
Let us never forget that if we omit them from our lives we may be found unworthy to come into
His presence
- Mark E. Petersen

Honesty is a principle, and we have our moral agency to determine how we will apply this
principle. We have the agency to make choices, but ultimately we will be accountable for each
choice we make. We may deceive others, but there is One we will never deceive. From the
Book of Mormon we learn, “The keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth
no servant there; and there is none other way to save it be by the gate; for he cannot be
deceived, for the Lord God is his name
- James E. Faust

Be honest with yourself, others, and God at all times

- For the Strength of Youth: Honesty and Integrity

Integrity, in my own homely definition, is to do the right thing at the right time for the right reason
- at any cost
- Jeffrey R. Holland

We should not be discouraged or depressed by our shortcomings. No one is without weakness.


As part of the divine plan, we are tested to see whether we master weakness or let weakness
master us. Proper diagnosis is essential to proper treatment. The Lord gave us this remarkable
assurance: “Because thou hast seen thy weakness thou shalt be made strong”. But wishing for
strength won’t make us strong. It takes faith and work to shore up a weakened cord of integrity
- Russell M. Nelson

The rewards of integrity are immeasurable. One is the indescribable inner peace and serenity
that come from knowing we are doing what is right; another is an absence of the guilt and
anxiety that accompany sin. Another reward of integrity is the confidence it can give us in
approaching God. When virtue garnishes our thoughts unceasingly, our confidence is strong in
the presence of God
- Joseph B. Wirthlin

When we are true to the sacred principles of honesty and integrity, we are true to our faith, and
we are true to ourselves
- Richard C. Edgely

confidence that will magnetically draw people to you

through daily prayer and scripture study. The Holy Ghost can inspire you with a greater desire
for honesty and integrity. Make a decision tonight that you will read your scriptures and say your
prayers every day for the rest of your life. You see, scriptures and prayer go together like peanut
butter and jelly. They will help you stay close to the Church and close to the Lord
- Carol B. Thomas

temptation to rob you of this blessing
- Thomas S. Monson

When we safeguard the heavenly virtue of freedom we shall have peace on Earth good will to
men

You be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be

your own moral cleanliness...and what a glorious feeling it is to know that you stand in your
appointed place clean and with the confidence that you are worthy to do so
- Elaine S. Dalton

Now is the time for each of us to arise and unfurl a banner to the world alling for a return to

before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts
- Jacob 2:28

We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men;
indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all

anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things

of the temple, understand our divine destiny, and strive for exaltation

cannot be bought or sold; It is the fruit of self-mastery
- Gordon B. Hinckley

As we live virtuous lives, we come to know our Heavenly Father and His Son in a special way
- Robert D. Hales

What makes a woman beautiful? The world tries to convince us that cosmetics, perfumes,
jewelry, fashionable clothing, diets, and even surgery are necessary for beauty. While some of
these fashion aids are desirable and lovely, they can change only surface appearances. The
gospel teaches us that true beauty is more than skin-deep. A young woman whose
countenance is aglow with both happiness and virtue radiates inner beauty
- Lynn G. Robbins

A young woman can be courageous enough to say, “this is who I am, this is what I believe, and
this is what I want”

prayer, daily scripture study, daily obedience, daily service to others

Seek the companionship of virtuous friends, not virtual friends


- Elaine S. Dalton

I wish every young woman would know and understand that your beauty - your “shine” - does
not lie in makeup, gooey cream, or the latest clothing or hairstyles. It lies in your personal
purity… You can have a powerful impact in the world. Your example, even the light in your eyes,
will influence others who see your “shine,” and they will want to be like you...A divine light
comes into your eyes and countenances when you draw close to your Heavenly Father and His
Son, Jesus Christ. That’s how we get the “shiney”!
- Elaine S. Dalton
If you desire to make a difference in the world, you must be different from the world
- Elaine S. Dalton

In a world that wallows in filth, be clean - in language, in thought, in body, in dress


- Gordon B. Hinckley

When you dress modestly, you show respect for your Heavenly Father and for yourself. At this
time, when dress fashions are styled after the skimpy clothing some of the current movie and
music idols are wearing, it may be difficult to find modest apparel in clothing stores. However, it
is possible, and it is important
- Thomas S. Monson

way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it
- 1 Corinthians 10:13

- D&C 121:45

Virtuous traits form the foundation of a Christian life and are the outward manifestation of the
inner man

- Elaine S. Dalton, Guardians of Virtue, April 2011 General Conference

increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity
- David A. Bednar

The Church sets standards for us in many areas, but many of the standards of personal
performance must be set by us. An unwillingness to set standards or goals for ourselves, of
course, can result in a Mormon malaise, going nowhere - but doing it very anxiously
- Neal A. Maxwell

In a society in which “anything goes,” its members will learn too late that everything has gone!
- Neal A. Maxwell

Mortals who lose their bearings then proceed to lose their souls
- Neal A. Maxwell

The Church is pulling away from the world at a rate that would be noticeable even if the world
were standing still in its standards. This is because the world is pulling away even from the
standards it once held. Thus the Church and the world are parting company like two speeding
cars going in opposite directions

negatives, and if things don’t work out, take another shot!

If size really mattered, the whale, not the shark, would rule the waters
- Matshona Dhliwayo

The most important thing is this: to sacrifice what you are now for what you can become
tomorrow
- Shannon L. Alder

I started to realize how many great things could happen by confronting the things that scare you
most
- David Archuleta

One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always
wanted. Do it now
- Paulo Coelho

Prayer is not just for times of trouble


- Thomas S. Monson

Had to have high, high hopes for a living


Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing
Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
- Panic! At The Disco, High Hopes
Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
- Panic! At The Disco, High Hopes

They say it’s all been done but they haven’t seen the best of me
So I got one more run and it’s gonna be a sight to see
- Panic! At The Disco, High Hopes

Believe in the power of prayer. There is no power upon the earth like the power of prayer

I’ve got so much soul inside my bones


Take a look at me now
I’m young, forever in the sun
Ever since you came, I’m living ultralife
- Oh Wonder, Ultralife

An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of
the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you

Your life is a line. Wobbly, at first. Learning. Then stronger. Independent. Some lines may join
yours along the way. And some parts of the journey you make alone. But ultimately, it’s your
line...so own that sucker. And when life throws curves at you curve that line right back.

You aren’t worth something just because I say you are. You just are. You were worth something
before I even said anything. I didn’t decide that you are. I acknowledged that you are.

Look at nature. Look at flowers. We never walk into our garden and say “Oh wouldn’t that flower
be so much more pretty if it were taller? Or red instead of pink?” No, we don’t. Because nature
was created perfect just as it is. And so are we. We are part of nature, we are how we’re meant
to be, we are perfect just as we are.

Before it gets better the darkness gets bigger

So how do you best respond when mental or emotional challenges confront you or those you
love? Above all, never lose faith in your Father in Heaven, who loves you more than you can
comprehend.
- Jeffrey R. Holland, Like a Broken Vessel
Believe in miracles. I have seen so many of them come when every other indication would say
that hope was lost. Hope is never lost. If those miracles do not come soon or fully or seemingly
at all, remember the Savior’s own anguished example: if the bitter cup does not pass, drink it
and be strong, trusting in happier days ahead
- Jeffrey R. Holland, Like a Broken Vessel

Don’t assume you can fix everything, but fix what you can.
- Jeffrey R. Holland, Like a Broken Vessel

Dozens of times in the scriptures, the Lord commands someone to “stand still” or “be still” - and
wait. Patiently enduring some things is part of our mortal education
- Jeffrey R. Holland, Like a Broken Vessel

Though we may feel we are “like a broken vessel,” as the Psalmist says, we must remember,
that vessel is in the hands of the divine potter. Broken minds can be healed just the way broken
bones and broken hearts are healed. While God is at work making those repairs, the rest of us
can help by being merciful, nonjudgmental, and kind
- Jeffrey R. Holland, Like a Broken Vessel

(“Like a Broken Vessel” is probably my favorite talk, I strongly recommend it)

I hope you remember today that if you slip up you can restart your day at any time. You don’t
have to wait til the next day to start over. Just sit down, breathe for a few minutes, and start
again

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless

What’s the good of living if you don’t try a few things?


- Charles M. Schulz

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise

Never blow out someone else’s candle to try and make your own shine brighter

To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don’t worry about the
darkness for that is when stars shine brightest!

Joy comes from and because of Him. He is the source of all joy

No matter what mistakes we have made, or how imperfect we feel we are, we can always bless
and lift others

People inspire you or they drain you. Pick them wisely


- Hans. F. Hansen

When it rains, look for rainbows. When it’s dark, look for stars

If “Plan A” didn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters! Stay cool

Let the sunshine in by doing the right things now


- Richard G. Scott

When you feel alone and work is overwhelming just remember that you’re a part of someone’s
best memories. No dialogue just you presence, in exploring somewhere new, a reassuring smile
and support you gave, or in lots of laughter and sun. It helps the days feel worth more, even if
today felt like it didn’t count, it did. You exist in so many ways you can’t measure

Draw close to the Lord Jesus Christ. Be of good cheer. Keep the faith. Doubt not. The storms
will one day be stilled
- Joseph B. Wirthlin

Someone once told me that our good traits are on our backs. So when we look in a mirror we
never see them, but we so often see others traits and think we don’t have any. “I don’t have any
good traits.” you say. “I hate myself.” Don’t say that. It’s there.

The past is behind. Learn from it. The future is ahead. Prepare for it. The present is here. Live it.
- Thomas S. Monson

When your eyes are weary from crying, hold on. Those tears will soon be dried from your eyes

and partaking of the sacred and eternal blessings there

a triumph, and what’s broken into something beautiful

If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So it has been with the best
people who ever lived
- Jeffrey R. Holland

The great things that happen may require many small faithful moments
- Neill F. Marriott

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you listen with the Spirit, you will find your heart softened, your faith strengthened, and your
capacity to love the Lord increased
- Henry B. Eyring

Life is fragile and, therefore, should be handled with prayer


- Harold B. Lee

Having influence is not about elevating self, but about lifting others
- Sheri Dew

One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again for no failure ever need be final
- Thomas S. Monson

Hope is putting faith to work...when doubting would be easier

As we think about the future, we should be filled with faith and hope

YOU WILL DO WONDERFUL. YOU ARE SMART, YOU ARE SMART, YOU ARE SMART AND
YOU CAN DO THIS MY FRIEND! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
WOW I REALLY DID IT!

I gotta call this 1001 quotes now since my random quotes section has 101 instead of 100.

One thing I will say is that I’ve learned quite a bit from doing this project and have really been
inspired by the many things I have read. There were several days that I really didn’t want to
work on this, but I found that as I did, my mood got better.

Even though I don’t know who a lot of the people these quotes are from, I found something
good in them for the specific value, and I hope that you guys also will find some value in them
like I did.

Manissa :)
