More quotes by 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.
