“The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.”

Joseph B. Wirthlin was an American religious leader and executive. A former CEO of a major financial institution, he later served as an apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known for his teachings on faith, leadership, and service.
