Joseph B. Wirthlin

While we yearn for peace, we live in a world burdened with hunger, pain, anguish, loneliness, sickness, and sorrow.

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.

You can find peace amidst the storms that threaten you.

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.

Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful.

The greater the measure of our love, the greater is our joy.

My mother was a very positive thinker; she was always active, always doing something good.

In the lonely hours, I have spent a great deal of time thinking about eternal things. I have contemplated the comforting doctrines of eternal life.

Those who make happiness the chief objective of life are bound to fail, for happiness is a by-product rather than an end in itself.

Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice.

As society has shifted from an agrarian to an urban structure, the joy and necessity of diligent, hard work have been neglected.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is more enduring than fame, more precious than riches, more to be desired than happiness.
