More quotes by Spencer W. Kimball

Spencer W. Kimball
If you are going to err, err on the side of mercy.
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

Spencer W. Kimball

Spencer W. Kimball
Humility is the beginning virtue of all exaltation.
Spencer W. Kimball
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
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
Procrastination-thou wretched thief of time and opportunity!
Spencer W. Kimball
If men are really humble, they will realize that they discover, but do not create, truth.
Spencer W. Kimball
Marriage is perhaps the most vital of all the decisions and has the most far reaching effects.
Spencer W. Kimball
Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering and self-mastery.
Spencer W. Kimball
Sickness sometimes is a great blessing. People become angels through sickness.
Spencer W. Kimball
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
