More quotes by 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.

There is never a day in any mans life when repentance is not essential to his well being in eternal progress.
Spencer W. Kimball
My life is like my shoes, worn out by service.

We are not measured by the trials we meet -- only by those we overcome.
Spencer W. Kimball
Each of us has more opportunities to do good and to be good than we ever use.
Spencer W. Kimball
If joy and peace and rewards were instantaneously given the doer of good, there would be no evil-all would do good but not because of the rightness of doing good. There would be no test of strength, no development of character, no growth of powers, no free agency, only satanic controls.

How could a person possibly become what he is not thinking? Nor is any thought, when persistently entertained, too small to have its effect. The 'divinity that shapes our ends' is indeed ourselves.
Spencer W. Kimball
The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls.
Spencer W. Kimball
I personally regard all of the houses of the Lord as the work of Jehovah, initiated by him, built by him, designed by him, and dedicated to him and his program.
Spencer W. Kimball
A dozen times a day we come to a fork in the road and must decide which way we will go. It is important to get our ultimate objectives clearly in mind so that we do not become distracted at each fork in the road by the irrelevant questions: Which is the easier or more pleasant way? Or, Which way are others going?
Spencer W. Kimball
Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering and self-mastery.
Spencer W. Kimball
The burning bushes, the smoking mountains, . . . the Cumorahs, and the Kirtlands were realities but they were the exceptions. . . . Always expecting the spectacular, many will miss entirely the constant flow of revealed communication.
Spencer W. Kimball
Marriage is perhaps the most vital of all the decisions and has the most far-reaching effects...It affects not only the two people involved, but also their families and particularly their children and their children's children down through the many generations
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
Young men do not usually become inactive in the Church because they are given too many significant things to do.
Spencer W. Kimball
We must lengthen our stride and must do it now because we over ate and feel fat.
Spencer W. Kimball
O timid one, awaken, exert yourself, draw back the curtains your training and background have hung over the windows of your soul.
Spencer W. Kimball
Now is the time to set your life's goals. Now is the time to set your standards firmly and then hold to them throughout your life.

It is in the doing that the real blessing comes. Do it! That's our motto.
