Success should not necessarily be gauged by always reaching the goal set, but by progress and attainment.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
The more we are guided by eternal considerations in our conduct, the better we will manage our mortality.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
By one means or another, the swiftest method of rejection of the holy prophets has been to find a pretext, however false or absurd, to dismiss the man so that his message could also be dismissed.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
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.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
Do not pray to marry the one that you love, but to love the one that you marry.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
Waste is unjustified, and especially the waste of time limited as that commodity is in our days of probation. One must live, not only exist he must do, not merely be he must grow, not just vegetate.

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
Image
I have learned that it is by serving that we learn how to serve. When we engaged in the service of our fellowmen, not only do our deeds assist them but we put our own problems in fresher perspective. When we concern ourselves more with others, there is less time to be concerned with ourselves
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
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
Image
You women are daughters of God. You are precious. You are made in the image of our Heavenly Mother.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
Marriage is perhaps the most vital of all the decisions and has the most far reaching effects.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
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
Image
Any excuse for non-performance, no matter how valid, weakens character.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
If you are going to err, err on the side of mercy.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
There is never a day in any mans life when repentance is not essential to his well being in eternal progress.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
If we live in such a way that the considerations of eternity press upon us, we will make better decisions.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering and self-mastery.

We must lengthen our stride and must do it now because we over ate and feel fat.
