Spencer W. Kimball
If we live in such a way that the considerations of eternity press upon us, we will make better decisions.
Spencer W. Kimball
Sickness sometimes is a great blessing. People become angels through sickness.
Spencer W. Kimball
Homosexuality is an ugly sin, repugnant to those who find no temptation in it, as well as to many past offenders who are seeking a way out of its clutches. All such deviations from normal, proper heterosexual relationships are not merely unnatural but wrong in the sight of God.
Spencer W. Kimball
When a defiled man is born again, his habits are changed, his thoughts cleansed, his attitudes regenerated and elevated, his activities put in total order, and everything about him that was dirty, degenerate or reprobate is washed and made clean.

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
Your own private journal should record the way you face up to challenges that beset you. Do not suppose life changes so much that your experiences will not be interesting to your posterity. Experiences of work, relations with people, and an awareness of the rightness and wrongness of actions will always be relevant.
Spencer W. Kimball
Profanity is the effort of a feeble brain to express itself forcibly.
Spencer W. Kimball

Spencer W. Kimball
Peace, sweet peace finally comes to men when they humbly yield to the gentle pressure of the Spirit.
Spencer W. Kimball
They who reach down into the depths of life where, in the stillness, the voice of God is heard, have the stabilizing power which carries them poised and serene through the hurricane of difficulties.
Spencer W. Kimball
Procrastination-thou wretched thief of time and opportunity!
Spencer W. Kimball
No true Latter-Day Saint, while physically or emotionally able will voluntarily shift the burden of his own or his family's well-being to someone else. So long as he can, under the inspiration of the Lord and with his own labors, he will supply himself and his family with the spiritual and temporal necessities of life.
Spencer W. Kimball
We must lengthen our stride and must do it now because we over ate and feel fat.
Spencer W. Kimball
Jesus perfected his life and became our Christ. Priceless blood of a god was shed, and he became our Savior his perfected life was given, and he became our Redeemer his atonement for us made possible our return to our Heavenly Father, and yet how thoughtless, how unappreciative are most beneficiaries! Ingratitude is a sin of the ages.
Spencer W. Kimball
Every divorce is the result of selfishness on the part of one or both parties to a marriage contract.
Spencer W. Kimball
The best way to resist temptation is to avoid it. Prevention is far, far better than repentance.
