More quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.
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
I believe that the telephone and telegraph and other such conveniences were permitted by the Lord to be developed for the express purpose of building the kingdom. Others may use them for business, professional or other purposes, but basically they are to build the kingdom.
Spencer W. Kimball
Develop discipline of self so that you do not have to decide and re-decide what you will do when you are confronted with the same temptation time and time again. You need only decide some things once.
Spencer W. Kimball
They who get off on tangents and ride hobby horses to death are they who become fanatic. Let them understand that they must be tolerant of others faults but never accept as justifiable their own.
Spencer W. Kimball
Peace of mind, joy and happiness cannot be purchased with money or worldly goods.
Spencer W. Kimball
We should be involved in quiet acts of selfless service.
Spencer W. Kimball
There are great challenges ahead of us, giant opportunities to be met. I welcome that exciting prospect and feel to say to the Lord, humbly, 'Give me this MOUNTAIN,' give me these challenges.
Spencer W. Kimball
Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering and self-mastery.
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
Man must live, not only exist he must do, not merely be he must grow, not just vegetate.
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
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
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
One of the most serious human defects in all ages is procrastination, an unwillingness to accept personal responsibilities now.
Spencer W. Kimball
Procrastination-thou wretched thief of time and opportunity!
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
The nation is built upon the foundation of its homes and the home upon its families.
Spencer W. Kimball
To be mediocre, when only application and diligence would have netted superiority, is an error akin to sin.
Spencer W. Kimball
