Each person in the world is different and has their own beautiful sound in the symphony of life. Joseph B. Wirthlin More Quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin More Quotes From Joseph B. Wirthlin Sometimes the greatest love is not found in the dramatic scenes that poets and writers immortalize. Often, the greatest manifestations of love are the simple acts of kindness and caring we extend to those we meet along the path of life. Joseph B. Wirthlin kindnesslovelife No matter our age, our circumstances, or abilities... Each one of us can create something remarkable with our lives. Joseph B. Wirthlin agematterattitude 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.

Wirthlin adversitysuccessfulway In our own storms in life the Savior is our solace and our sanctuary. If we seek peace, we must come unto Him, the Man who suffered for mankind, who committed His life to healing the sick and comforting the disconsolate, is mindful of your sufferings, doubts, and heartaches. Living the gospel does not mean the storms of life will pass us by, but we will be better prepared to face them with serenity and peace. Joseph B. Wirthlin healingmenmean Kindness is the essence of greatness and the fundamental characteristic of the noblest men and women I have known.

Wirthlin inspirationalfriendshiplife The church is not a place where perfect people gather to say perfect things, or have perfect thoughts, or have perfect feelings. The Church is a place where imperfect people gather to provide encouragement, support, and service to each other as we press on in our journey to return to our Heavenly Father. Joseph B. Wirthlin encouragementjourneyfather Brothers and sisters, if only we had more compassion for those who are different from us, it would lighten many of the problems and sorrows in the world today. It would certainly make our families and the Church a more hallowed and heavenly place. Joseph B. Wirthlin sorrowcompassionbrother Come what may and love it. Joseph B. Wirthlin spiritualattitudeinspirational At the final day the Savior will not ask about the nature of our callings. He will not inquire about our material possessions or fame. He will ask if we ministered to the sick, gave food and drink to the hungry, visited those in prison, or gave succor to the weak. When we reach out to assist the least of Heavenly Father’s children, we do it unto Him. That is the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Joseph B. Wirthlin fatherchildrenjesus Learning to endure times of disappointment, suffering, and sorrow is part of our on-the-job training.

Joseph B. Wirthlin strongeradversityway 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 gratitudegratefulhumble How can we love days that are filled with sorrow? We can't-at least not in the moment. I don't think my mother was suggesting that we suppress discouragement or deny the reality of pain. I don't think she was suggesting that we smother unpleasant truths beneath a cloak of pretended happiness. But I do believe that the way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life. Joseph B.
