More quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
People must be changed...goodness cannot be legislated.
Spencer W. Kimball
Only when you lift a burden, God will lift your burden. Divine paradox this! The man who staggers and falls because his burden is too great can lighten that burden by taking on the weight of another's burden. You get by giving, but your part of giving must be given first.
Spencer W. Kimball
The Lord's way builds individual self esteem and develops and heals the dignity of the individual, whereas the world's way depresses the individual's view of himself and causes deep resentment
Spencer W. Kimball
We must lengthen our stride and must do it now because we over ate and feel fat.
Spencer W. Kimball
There isn't anything else more important than taking the gospel to the world.
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
Dream beautiful dreams and then work to make those dreams come true.
Spencer W. Kimball
We are not measured by the trials we meet -- only by those we overcome.
Spencer W. Kimball
Some of the greatest sermons that have ever been preached were preached by the singing of a song.
Spencer W. Kimball
Your life is your own, to develop or to destroy. You can blame others little and yourself almost totally if that life is not a productive, worthy, full, and abundant one.
Spencer W. Kimball
It frequently happens that offenses are committed when the offender is not aware of it. Something he has said or done is misconstrued or misunderstood. The offended one treasures in his heart the offense, adding to it such other things as might give fuel to the fire and justify his conclusions.
Spencer W. Kimball
As we give, we find that sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven, and in the end, we learn that it was no sacrifice at all.
Spencer W. Kimball
One of the most serious human defects in all ages is procrastination, an unwillingness to accept personal responsibilities now.
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
Every divorce is the result of selfishness on the part of one or both parties to a marriage contract.
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
No true Latter-Day Saint, while physically or emotionally able will voluntarily shift the burden of his own or his family's well-being to someone else. So long as he can, under the inspiration of the Lord and with his own labors, he will supply himself and his family with the spiritual and temporal necessities of life.
Spencer W. Kimball
Destroy the seed and the plant will never grow. Man alone, of all creatures of earth, can change his thought pattern and become the architect of his destiny.
Spencer W. Kimball
Your faith will perform miracles, especially when you get your hands and feet involved.
Spencer W. Kimball
Each of us has more opportunities to do good and to be good than we ever use.
