Spencer W Kimball Quotes

No father, no son, no mother, no daughter should get so busy that he or she does not have time to study the scriptures and the words of modern prophets.

None of us should become so busy in our formal Church assignments that there is no room left for quiet Christian service to our neighbors Picture Quote #1

Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering, and self-mastery Picture Quote #1

You women are daughters of God. You are precious. You are made in the image of our Heavenly Mother Picture Quote #1

What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved? Some of what you write may be humdrum dates and places, but there will also be rich passages that will be quoted by your posterity Picture Quote #1

A dozen times a day we come to a fork in the road and must decide which way we will go.

Or, Which way are others going? Picture Quote #1

I say to everyone within the sound of my voice, ‘Do not fail the Lord’. We must accept the truth that the gospel principles are not on trial but that we are Picture Quote #1

Man is naturally a religious being. His heart instinctively seeks for God whether he reverences the sacred cow or prays to the sun or moon; whether he kneels before wood and stone images, or prays in secret to his Heavenly Father, he is satisfying an inborn urge Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom. . . . So often, our acts of service consist of simple encouragement or of giving . . . help with mundane tasks, but what glorious consequences can flow . . . from small but deliberate deeds! Picture Quote #1

We are men of God first, men of letters second, men of science third, and noted men fourth, men of rectitude rather than academic competence. . . . Our academic training must be as impeccable as our lives Picture Quote #1
