Spencer W. Kimball
The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.
Spencer W. Kimball
We ought to encourage our children to know their relatives. We need to talk of them, make effort to correspond with them, visit them, join family organizations, etc.
Spencer W. Kimball

To be a righteous woman during the winding up scenes on this earth, before the second coming of our Savior, is an especially noble calling... She has been placed here to help to enrich, to protect, and to guard the home--which is society's basic and most noble institution.
Spencer W. Kimball
The more we are guided by eternal considerations in our conduct, the better we will manage our mortality.
Spencer W. Kimball
Time cannot be recycled. When a moment has gone, it is really gone. Wise time management is really wise management of ourselves.
Spencer W. Kimball
God does watch over us and does notice us, but it usually through someone else that he meets our needs.
Spencer W. Kimball
My plea therefore is this: Let us get our instruments tightly strung and our melodies sweetly sung. Let us not die with our music still in us. Let us rather use this precious mortal probation to move confidently and gloriously upward toward the eternal life which God our Father gives to those who keep his commandments.
Spencer W. Kimball
The only way we can keep our freedom is to work at it. Not some of us. All of us. Not some of the time, but all of the time. So if you value your citizenship and you want to keep it for yourself and your children and their children, give it your faith, your belief, and give it your active support in civic affairs.
Spencer W. Kimball
Marriage is perhaps the most vital of all the decisions and has the most far reaching effects.
Spencer W. Kimball
Develop discipline of self so that you do not have to decide and re-decide what you will do when you are confronted with the same temptation time and time again. You need only decide some things once.
Spencer W. Kimball
No amount of rationalizing can change God's laws. No amount of fashion designing can turn immodesty into virtue, and no amount of popularity can change sin into righteousness.
Spencer W. Kimball
It is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom. . . . So often, our acts of service consist of simple encouragement or of giving . . . help with mundane tasks, but what glorious consequences can flow . . . from small but deliberate deeds!
Spencer W. Kimball
We must remember that those mortals we meet in parking lots, offices, elevators, and elsewhere are that portion of mankind God has given us to love and to serve. It will do us little good to speak of the general brotherhood of mankind if we cannot regard those who are all around us as our brothers and sisters.
Spencer W. Kimball
