More quotes by 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
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
In my office...I have a little sign and it says, 'Do it!' I suppose if I have learned anything in life, it is that we are to keep moving, keep trying-as long as we breathe! If we do, we will be surprised at how much more can still be done.
Spencer W. Kimball
We are, on the whole, an idolatrous people...
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
The more we are guided by eternal considerations in our conduct, the better we will manage our mortality.
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
Being human, we would expel from our lives physical pain and mental anguish and assure ourselves of continual ease and comfort, but if we were to close the doors upon sorrow and distress, we might be excluding our greatest friends and benefactors. Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering, and self-mastery.
Spencer W. Kimball
If men are really humble, they will realize that they discover, but do not create, truth.
Spencer W. Kimball
The day obedience becomes a quest and not an irritation is the day you gain power.
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
Modern idols or false gods can take such forms as clothes, homes, businesses, machines, automobiles, pleasure boats, and numerous other material deflectors.
Spencer W. Kimball
We should be involved in quiet acts of selfless service.
Spencer W. Kimball
It is in the doing that the real blessing comes. Do it! That's our motto.
Spencer W. Kimball
In true marriage there must be a union of minds as well as of hearts. Emotions must not wholly determine decisions, but the mind and the heart, strengthened by fasting and prayer and serious consideration, will give one a maximum chance of marital happiness.
Spencer W. Kimball
Your faith will perform miracles, especially when you get your hands and feet involved.
Spencer W. Kimball
They who reach down into the depths of life where, in the stillness, the voice of God is heard, have the stabilizing power which carries them poised and serene through the hurricane of difficulties.
Spencer W. Kimball
To be sure your life will be full and abundant, you must plan your life.
Spencer W. Kimball
A dozen times a day we come to a fork in the road and must decide which way we will go. It is important to get our ultimate objectives clearly in mind so that we do not become distracted at each fork in the road by the irrelevant questions: Which is the easier or more pleasant way? Or, Which way are others going?
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
