More quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.
Spencer W. Kimball
We are not measured by the trials we meet -- only by those we overcome.
Spencer W. Kimball
The more we are guided by eternal considerations in our conduct, the better we will manage our mortality.
Spencer W. Kimball
Preparedness, when properly pursued, is a way of life, not a sudden, spectacular program. We could refer to all the components of personal and family preparedness, not in relation to holocaust or disaster, but in cultivating a life-style that is on a day-to-day basis its own reward.
Spencer W. Kimball
Marriage is perhaps the most vital of all the decisions and has the most far-reaching effects...It affects not only the two people involved, but also their families and particularly their children and their children's children down through the many generations
Spencer W. Kimball
There are many upright and faithful who live all the commandments and whose lives and prayers keep the world from destruction.
Spencer W. Kimball
We are greatly conscious of the fact that among the Lamanites - as well as among all peoples of other countries - we have a responsibility to see that the gospel touches their hearts and minds and that they understand it.
Spencer W. Kimball
There isn't anything else more important than taking the gospel to the world.
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
I am comforted by the assurance that there will be beautiful music in heaven, and for that I am most grateful.
Spencer W. Kimball
Do not pray to marry the one that you love, but to love the one that you marry.
Spencer W. Kimball
Man must live, not only exist he must do, not merely be he must grow, not just vegetate.
Spencer W. Kimball
We should be involved in quiet acts of selfless service.
Spencer W. Kimball
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.
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
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
You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. There may be a flash of illumination here and a story of faithfulness there you should truthfully record your real self and not what other people may see in you.
Spencer W. Kimball
Marriage is perhaps the most vital of all the decisions and has the most far reaching effects.
Spencer W. Kimball
My life is like my shoes, worn out by service.
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
