Spencer W. Kimball
The nation is built upon the foundation of its homes and the home upon its families.
Spencer W. Kimball
We want you to be ready with your personal storehouses filled with at least a year's supply. You don't argue why it cannot be done you just plan to organize and get it done.
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
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
People must be changed...goodness cannot be legislated.
Spencer W. Kimball
And you fathers, are you so busy making a living, playing golf, bowling, hunting, that you do not have time to talk to your boys and hold them close to you and win their confidence? Or do you brush them off, so that they dare not come and talk about these things with you?
Spencer W. Kimball
The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.
Spencer W. Kimball
Jesus perfected his life and became our Christ. Priceless blood of a god was shed, and he became our Savior his perfected life was given, and he became our Redeemer his atonement for us made possible our return to our Heavenly Father, and yet how thoughtless, how unappreciative are most beneficiaries! Ingratitude is a sin of the ages.
Spencer W. Kimball
Young men do not usually become inactive in the Church because they are given too many significant things to do.
Spencer W. Kimball
The time will come when only those who believe deeply and actively in the family will be able to preserve their families in the midst of the gathering evil around us.
Spencer W. Kimball
To be a mother is a woman's greatest vocation in life. She is a partner with God. No being has a position of such power and influence. She holds in her hands the destiny of nations, for to her comes the responsibility and opportunity of molding the nation's citizens.
Spencer W. Kimball
If men are really humble, they will realize that they discover, but do not create, truth.
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
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
You women are daughters of God. You are precious. You are made in the image of our Heavenly Mother.
Spencer W. Kimball
It is in the doing that the real blessing comes. Do it! That's our motto.
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
Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering and self-mastery.
