More quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
Peace, sweet peace finally comes to men when they humbly yield to the gentle pressure of the Spirit.

Spencer W. Kimball
I am comforted by the assurance that there will be beautiful music in heaven, and for that I am most grateful.
Spencer W. Kimball
If men are really humble, they will realize that they discover, but do not create, truth.

Spencer W. Kimball
We should be involved in quiet acts of selfless service.
Spencer W. Kimball
One of the most serious human defects in all ages is procrastination, an unwillingness to accept personal responsibilities now.
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.
Spencer W. Kimball
It is in the doing that the real blessing comes. Do it! That's our motto.
Spencer W. Kimball
The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls.
Spencer W. Kimball
Procrastination-thou wretched thief of time and opportunity!
Spencer W. Kimball
What are we to fear when the Lord is with us? Can we not take the Lord at his word and exercise a particle of faith in him?
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
Destroy the seed and the plant will never grow. Man alone, of all creatures of earth, can change his thought pattern and become the architect of his destiny.
Spencer W. Kimball
