More quotes by 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
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
We have always understood that the foundations of the family, as an eternal unit, were laid even before this earth was created! Society without basic family life is without foundation and will disintegrate into nothingness.
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
Success should not necessarily be gauged by always reaching the goal set, but by progress and attainment.
Spencer W. Kimball
Man must live, not only exist he must do, not merely be he must grow, not just vegetate.
Spencer W. Kimball
It is through repentance that the Lord Jesus Christ can work his healing miracle, infusing us with strength when we are weak, health when we are sick, hope when we are downhearted, love when we feel empty, and understanding when we search for truth.
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
Make certain decisions only once.
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
The day obedience becomes a quest and not an irritation is the day you gain power.
Spencer W. Kimball
As we give, we find that sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven, and in the end, we learn that it was no sacrifice at all.
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
There isn't anything else more important than taking the gospel to the world.
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
Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering and self-mastery.
Spencer W. Kimball
I believe that the telephone and telegraph and other such conveniences were permitted by the Lord to be developed for the express purpose of building the kingdom. Others may use them for business, professional or other purposes, but basically they are to build the kingdom.
Spencer W. Kimball
We are not measured by the trials we meet -- only by those we overcome.
Spencer W. Kimball
There is no doubt that the life one leads, and the thoughts one thinks are registered plainly in his face.
Spencer W. Kimball
Each of us has more opportunities to do good and to be good than we ever use.
Spencer W. Kimball
