Joseph Smith Jr. Quotes

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

Keep the faith, don't lose your perseverance and always trust your gut extinct.

I think that hope is the act of continuing in the face of the truth.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, 'Things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude.'

Whatever you're going through in your life, don't ever give up.

We are very near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer.

After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.

I think you make the best with what you've got, you know? Sometimes you have very little. And you just always try to rise to higher ground, because you're going to suffer one way or the other, so you just hope that you have strength and perseverance and good friends and faith, some kind of faith, to endure and move on to greener pastures.

Life is such a precious gift. Whatever life throws at us, if we could just learn to get through that day and hang on to the next, you never know what may come. It may get worse, but you never know.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.

Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.

He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

You gotta have faith. You gotta keep your head up.

Never lose hope under adverse situations.

I’m grateful I had the strength to fight. It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come, especially when you are flat on your back and don’t know if you’re going to see tomorrow. I’m no Pollyanna, but I believe optimism is a choice — a muscle that gets stronger with use. Right foot, left foot…just keep moving.

Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all... As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength.

I always try to see the good in everything, and that gives me strength. Even when I lost in the London Olympics quarterfinals, I said to myself, 'Don't lose heart, God has his own plans.' Actually, life just goes on; you have to accept whatever challenge you face and become stronger.

Hope is a moral choice.

Through these adversities, Israel has endured with continued strength, conviction, and faith.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

I live on hope and that I think do all Who come into this world.

One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.

I never give up hope.

I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person.
