Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin

Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
The people who misuse the Sabbath lose the blessings of spiritual food and growth promised to those who keep this commandment.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We observe that in the scriptures, fasting almost always is linked with prayer. Without prayer, fasting is not complete fasting; it's simply going hungry.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Our bodies are truly the result of what we eat, what we think about, and the exercise we receive. If we are not wise, these little things can soon cause major health problems that will limit our success and ability to serve.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Some have been ensnared in the net of excessive debt. The net of interest holds them fast, requiring them to sell their time and energies to meet the demands of creditors. They surrender their freedom, becoming slaves to their own extravagance.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Inordinate desire for material possessions can become an obsession that consumes our thoughts, drains our resources, and leads to unhappiness.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
In the scriptures, 'peace' means either freedom from strife, contention, conflict, or war, or an inner calm and comfort born of the Spirit that is a gift of God to all of his children, an assurance and serenity within a person's heart.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
The Savior was selfless. He viewed himself and his own needs as secondary, and he ministered to others tirelessly, lovingly, effectively.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We are commanded to seek out those who are lost. We are to be our brother's keeper.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We are ever on the threshold of new journeys and new discoveries. Can you imagine the excitement of the Wright brothers on the morning of that first flight? The anticipation of Jonas Salk as he analyzed the data that demonstrated a way to prevent polio?
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We have numerous examples of perseverance in the scriptures, in secular history, and in our own experiences.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
The Lord is well aware of our mortality. He knows our weaknesses. He understands the challenges of our everyday lives. He has great empathy for the temptations of earthly appetites and passions.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Kind words not only lift our spirits in the moment they are given, but they can linger with us over the years.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
When I was a deacon, the ominous signs of the Great Depression began to appear. Tens of thousands lost their jobs. Money was scarce. Families had to do without. Some young people did not ask their mothers, 'What's for dinner?' because they knew all too well that their cupboards held very little.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
There is no limit to the potential of brethren working together in complete brotherhood and selflessness toward spiritual goals. The power of God working through such channels will bring unimaginable blessings to all concerned.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We've all met those who seem to radiate happiness. They seem to smile more than others; they laugh more than others - just being around them makes us happier as well.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We should always be learning. However, we must be careful not to set aside our faith in the process, because faith actually enhances our ability to learn.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
When we are baptized and confirmed, when brethren are ordained to the priesthood, when we go to the temple and receive our endowment, when we enter into the new and everlasting covenant of eternal marriage - in all these sacred ordinances, we make solemn commitments to keep God's commandments.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in his own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Giant oak trees... have deep root systems that can extend two-and-one-half times their height. Such trees rarely are blown down regardless of how violent the storms may be.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Many in the world are searching, often intensely, for a source of refreshment that will quench their yearning for meaning and direction in their lives. They crave a cool, satisfying drink of insight and knowledge that will soothe their parched souls.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We don't have to be perfect today. We don't have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
In spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser and happier as a result.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Great sculptors and artists spend countless hours perfecting their talents. They don't pick up a chisel or a brush and palette, expecting immediate perfection. They understand that they will make many errors as they learn, but they start with the basics, the key fundamentals first.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
A certain amount of impatience may be useful to stimulate and motivate us to action. However, I believe that a lack of patience is a major cause of the difficulties and unhappiness in the world today.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
To me, integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences. It means being righteous from the very depth of our soul, not only in our actions but, more importantly, in our thoughts and in our hearts.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Men and women who decide to flirt with adultery just once can become enmeshed in misery and unhappiness for themselves and their precious families.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
My father was truly a great man. I remember one day putting my feet in my father's shoes. I was amazed at the size. Would I ever be big enough to fill his shoes? Could I ever grow into the man my father was? I wondered.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
The true greatness of a person, in my view, is evident in the way he or she treats those with whom courtesy and kindness are not required.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Most of us don't mind doing what we ought to do when it doesn't interfere with what we want to do, but it takes discipline and maturity to do what we ought to do whether we want to or not.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Desire, burning desire, is basic to achieving anything beyond the ordinary.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
Those who stand at the threshold of life always waiting for the right time to change are like the man who stands at the bank of a river waiting for the water to pass so he can cross on dry land.
Quote by -Joseph B. Wirthlin
While we yearn for peace, we live in a world burdened with hunger, pain, anguish, loneliness, sickness, and sorrow.
