More quotes by 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
Racial prejudice is of ignorance. There is no place for it.
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

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
We are in a position, as musicians, to touch the souls of those who listen.
Spencer W. Kimball
The day obedience becomes a quest and not an irritation is the day you gain power.
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
Dream beautiful dreams and then work to make those dreams come true.
Spencer W. Kimball
Any excuse for non-performance, no matter how valid, weakens character.
Spencer W. Kimball
Time cannot be recycled. When a moment has gone, it is really gone. Wise time management is really wise management of ourselves.
Spencer W. Kimball
Peace of mind, joy and happiness cannot be purchased with money or worldly goods.
Spencer W. Kimball
Do not pray to marry the one that you love, but to love the one that you marry.
Spencer W. Kimball
Each of us has more opportunities to do good and to be good than we ever use.
Spencer W. Kimball
