They who get off on tangents and ride hobby horses to death are they who become fanatic. Let them understand that they must be tolerant of others faults but never accept as justifiable their own.

More quotes by 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
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
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
Learn all you can. Growth comes from setting your goals high and reaching for the stars.
Spencer W. Kimball
What relief! What comfort! What joy! Those laden with transgressions and sorrows and sin may be forgiven and cleansed and purified if they will return to their Lord, learn of him, and 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
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.
Spencer W. Kimball
If I immerse myself in the scriptures...I find myself loving more intensely those whom I must love with all my heart and mind and strength, and loving them more. I find it easier to abide their counsel.
Spencer W. Kimball
The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls.
Spencer W. Kimball
To be mediocre, when only application and diligence would have netted superiority, is an error akin to sin.
Spencer W. Kimball
Procrastination-thou wretched thief of time and opportunity!
Spencer W. Kimball
There is never a day in any mans life when repentance is not essential to his well being in eternal progress.
Spencer W. Kimball
If men are really humble, they will realize that they discover, but do not create, truth.
Spencer W. Kimball
I am not afraid of death. What I am afraid of is that I will meet the Saviour and He will say, 'You could have done better'
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
We must lengthen our stride and must do it now because we over ate and feel fat.
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
God does watch over us and does notice us, but it usually through someone else that he meets our needs.
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
The more we are guided by eternal considerations in our conduct, the better we will manage our mortality.
