Joseph B. Wirthlin Perseverance Quotations

We have numerous examples of perseverance in the scriptures, in secular history, and in our own experiences.

Perhaps the best-known Old Testament example of perseverance is the story of Job.

Perseverance means to continue in a given course until we have reached a goal or objective, regardless of obstacles, opposition, and other counterinfluences...Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic...It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying.

Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic.

Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic. It is not idly, passively waiting and hoping for some good thing to happen.

I believe that perseverance is vital to success in any endeavor, whether spiritual or temporal, large or small, public or personal. . . . All significant achievement results largely from perseverance.
