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.
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.
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
You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will
work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.

everything will get better

Always pray to have eyes that see the best, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets
the bad, and a soul that never loses faith

has

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.

you on Facebook or Twitter? Do you think outward attractiveness, your dress size, or popularity
make the slightest difference in your worth to the One who created the universe? He loves you

potential and the desire to become. More than you could ever imagine, He wants you to achieve
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.”

Heavenly Father sees you-as His precious daughter or son with divine potential.

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

personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young
woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity

Stop comparing yourself to others. You are you, nobody else could be you even if they tried to
be. You are unique and beautiful. Nobody else is you!
Beautiful Beautiful snowflakes, floating down to earth. All created to be unique, each holding
significant worth. Just like an intricate snowflake, we come from up above to bless the world with
beauty, to sparkle the world with love. No two of us alike, we hold our own design, and because
we are so different, we get a chance to shine. When Heavenly Father makes snowflakes I think
He takes great care. He works on every detail. He makes them precious and rare. He lovingly

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

are trying to live and the standards you are trying to defend. I see the integrity of your heart. I
know you have tried to make things better first and foremost by being better yourself, and then

source of our problems lies at the level of the individual. If people lack moral values and

of neglect of inner values - will persist

Let us never forget that if we omit them from our lives we may be found unworthy to come into
His presence

Honesty is a principle, and we have our moral agency to determine how we will apply this

choice we make. We may deceive others, but there is One we will never deceive. From the

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

the presence of God

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
- Neal A. Maxwell
As dramatic as the brave passage through the Red Sea was, those in our time who make their

sure, if you would rescue the man, that you yourself are setting the example of what you would
have him be. You cannot lift a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul
- Harold B. Lee
Trials and tribulations tend to squeeze the artificiality out of us, leaving the essence of what we
really are and clarifying what we really yearn for

was, that I am, and that I am to come
- D&C 68:6
However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however
many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don’t have, or however far from
home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify to you that you have not traveled
beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of
Christ’s Atonement shines

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.
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
I hope you remember today that if you slip up you can restart your day at any time. You don’t

again

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

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 :)
