More quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin
Our destiny and ultimate fate depend upon our daily decisions. . . .Tomorrow's joy or tomorrow's despair has its roots in decisions we make today. . . . 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.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Lying, stealing, and cheating are commonplace.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Too many sit at the banquet table of the gospel of Jesus Christ and merely nibble at the feast placed before them. They go through the motions - attending their meetings perhaps, glancing at scriptures, repeating familiar prayers - but their hearts are far away.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
As we come unto Christ and journey to higher ground, we will desire to spend more time in His temples, because the temples represent higher ground, sacred ground.
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.

Joseph B. Wirthlin
Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful. They tend to brighten all around them. They make others feel better about themselves. They tend to be more humble, more joyful, more likable.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
The faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
We see ourselves as yesterday and today. Heavenly Father sees us as forever.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger. Then you will be better able to help others -those who are working, in their turn, to find a safe harbor from the storms that rage about them.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Faith is not so much something we believe faith is something we live.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Key statements made by latter-day prophets are not trite clichés. They are vital counsel to us from the Lord through his prophets. We should ponder and act upon such statements.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Every home is a house of learning either for good or otherwise.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
The more we focus on the things we don’t have, the more unhappy and more resentful we become.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
There is within each of us a divine spark of greatness. Who knows of what we are capable if we only try?
Joseph B. Wirthlin
You should look ahead now and decide what you want to do with your lives. Fix clearly in your mind what you want to be one year from now, five years, ten years, and beyond. Write your goals and review them regularly. Keep them before you constantly, record your progress, and revise them as circumstances dictate.
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.
