More quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
We must remember that those mortals we meet in parking lots, offices, elevators, and elsewhere are that portion of mankind God has given us to love and to serve. It will do us little good to speak of the general brotherhood of mankind if we cannot regard those who are all around us as our brothers and sisters.
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
Profanity is the effort of a feeble brain to express itself forcibly.
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
It is in the doing that the real blessing comes. Do it! That's our motto.
Spencer W. Kimball
Any excuse for non-performance, no matter how valid, weakens character.
Spencer W. Kimball
Love is like a flower, and like the body, it needs constant feeding...And with love, also, cannot be expected to last forever unless it is continually fed with portions of love, the manifestation of esteem and admiration, the expressions of gratitude, and the consideration of unselfishness.
Spencer W. Kimball
Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering and self-mastery.
Spencer W. Kimball
O timid one, awaken, exert yourself, draw back the curtains your training and background have hung over the windows of your soul.
Spencer W. Kimball
If we live in such a way that the considerations of eternity press upon us, we will make better decisions.
Spencer W. Kimball
The essence of the miracle of forgiveness is that it brings peace to the previously anxious, restless, frustrated, perhaps tormented soul.
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
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
Procrastination-thou wretched thief of time and opportunity!
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
My life is like my shoes, worn out by service.
Spencer W. Kimball
If men are really humble, they will realize that they discover, but do not create, truth.
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
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
One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of God that belief in Jesus Christ alone is all that is needed for salvation
