More quotes by Marvin J. Ashton
Victories in life come through our ability to work around and over the obstacles that cross our path. We grow stronger as we climb our own mountains.
Marvin J. Ashton
Resentment and anger are not good for the soul. They are foul things.
Marvin J. Ashton
The world is filled with too many of us who are inclined to indicate our love with an announcement or declaration. True love is a process. True love requires personal action. Love must be continuing to be real. Love takes time.
Marvin J. Ashton
Difficulties can be a valuable tool in our pursuit of perfection. Adversity need have no necessary connection with failure.
Marvin J. Ashton
The gospel is one of harmony, unity, and agreement. It must be presented in love, and with glad tidings, by those who are calm.
Marvin J. Ashton
It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has given. We must remember that each of us is made in the image of God, that there are no unimportant persons. Everyone matters to God and to his fellowmen.

Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it most. Love is not appropriately expressed in threats, accusations, expressions of disappointment, or retaliation. Real love takes time, patience, help, and continuing performances.

The difference between those who are committed and those who are not is the difference between the words want and will.
Marvin J. Ashton
A willingness to practice patience. Patience in communication is that certain ingredient of conduct we hope others will exhibit toward us when we fail to measure up. Our own patience is developed when we are patient with others.
Marvin J. Ashton
I challenge youth to cooperate with parents who are concerned about your reading and your viewing. Be concerned yourself about what you take into your mind. Young people, you would never eat a meal of spoiled or contaminated food if you could help it, would you? Select your reading and viewing carefully and in good taste.
Marvin J. Ashton
The direction in which we are moving is more important than where we are at the moment. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.
Marvin J. Ashton
Tact is rubbing out another's mistakes, not rubbing them in.
Marvin J. Ashton
Set your goals-without goals you cannot measure your progress. But don’t become frustrated because there are no obvious victories. Remind yourself that striving can be more important than arriving.
Marvin J. Ashton
It is not so important whether a young man has been through the experience of a mission as it is whether the mission experience has been through him.
Marvin J. Ashton
Progression and achievement belong to those who have learned to use the opportunity of now. Our strides of today will determine our locations tomorrow.
Marvin J. Ashton
Some think the only way to get even, to get attention or advantage, or to win is to bash people. This kind of behavior is never appropriate. Oftentimes character and reputation and almost always self-esteem are destroyed under the hammer of this vicious practice.
Marvin J. Ashton
The discerning realize that it is not realistic to expect perfection in others when none of us is perfect...Meaningful progress can be made only when all of us can cast the motes out of our own eyes, leave judgment to our Father in Heaven, and lose ourselves in righteous living.
Marvin J. Ashton
