Spencer W. Kimball Quotes About Giving

• My plea therefore is this: Let us get our instruments tightly strung and our melodies sweetly sung. Let us not die with our music still in us. Let us rather use this precious mortal probation to move confidently and gloriously upward toward the eternal life which God our Father gives to those who keep his commandments.

• Recordemos también que la grandeza no es siempre una cuestión de la escala de la propia vida, sino de la calidad de la propia vida. La verdadera grandeza no siempre está ligada al alcance de nuestras tareas, sino a la calidad de cómo llevamos a cabo nuestras tareas, sean cuales sean. En esa actitud, dediquemos nuestro tiempo, nuestro talento y nosotros mismos a las cosas que realmente importan ahora, cosas que seguirán importando dentro de mil años.

• La vida da a todos la posibilidad de elegir. Puedes satisfacerte con la mediocridad si lo deseas. Puedes ser común, ordinario, aburrido, incoloro, o puedes encauzar tu vida para que sea limpia, vibrante, útil, progresiva, colorida y rica.

• Ocurre con frecuencia que se cometen delitos cuando el delincuente no es consciente de ello. Algo que ha dicho o hecho es malinterpretado o malentendido. El ofendido atesora en su corazón la ofensa, añadiéndole otras cosas que puedan echar leña al fuego y justificar sus conclusiones.

• The only way we can keep our freedom is to work at it. Not some of us. All of us. Not some of the time, but all of the time. So if you value your citizenship and you want to keep it for yourself and your children and their children, give it your faith, your belief, and give it your active support in civic affairs.

• I go down the street, I say hello to everybody, a stranger or otherwise. I know that they do not know me, but I like to say hello and I think they appreciate it. I notice their faces light up with a smile and I believe that if all the people in our great city...would do that, the whole world would begin to say it is the "Friendly City." You can do a tremendous thing here. We get so absorbed, we do not always speak to our friends. Speak to them, even strangers, you are not going to give offense.

• Con demasiada frecuencia damos por sentadas bendiciones como el sol, el aire, la salud y las oportunidades. O aceptamos favores, honores y privilegios día tras día, como hicieron los leprosos con su nueva salud, sin una palabra de agradecimiento. Damos las gracias a la persona que nos cede un asiento en el autobús, a la que se ofrece a llevarnos en coche, al amigo que recoge la cuenta después de cenar, a la persona que hace de canguro o al chico que nos corta el césped, pero ¿expresamos gratitud a Aquel que nos lo da todo?

• Mothers, are you so busy with social life, [with projects], with clubs, with working out of the home, or with housework, that you have not time to sit down and talk to your little girls and tell them the things they should know when they are nine, and ten, and eleven, and older? Can you be frank and loving to them so that they in turn can be frank in giving you their confidences?

• In true marriage there must be a union of minds as well as of hearts. Emotions must not wholly determine decisions, but the mind and the heart, strengthened by fasting and prayer and serious consideration, will give one a maximum chance of marital happiness.

• Mothers have a sacred role. They are partners with God, as well as with their own husbands, first in giving birth to the Lord's spirit children and then rearing those children so they will serve the Lord and keep his commandments. ...Motherhood is a holy calling, a sacred dedication for carrying out the Lord's work, a consecration and devotion to the rearing and fostering, the nurturing of body, mind, and spirit of those who kept their first estate and who came to this earth for their second estate to learn and be tested.

• If we live in such a way that the considerations of eternity press upon us, we will make better decisions. Perhaps this is why President Brigham Young once said that if he could do but one thing to bless the Saints, he believed it would be to give them eyes with which to see things as they are.

• Sólo cuando levantes una carga, Dios levantará tu carga. ¡Divina paradoja ésta! El hombre que se tambalea y cae porque su carga es demasiado grande puede aligerar esa carga tomando el peso de la carga de otro. Tú recibes dando, pero tu parte de dar debe ser dada primero.

• Perhaps the greatest reason for missionary work is to give the world it's chance to hear and accept the gospel. The scriptures are replete with commands and promises and calls and rewards for teach the gospel. I use the word command deliberately for it seems to be an insistent directive from which we, singly and collectively, cannot escape...I wonder if we are doing all we can. Are we complacent in our approach to teaching all the world? We have been proselyting now 144 years. Are we prepared to lengthen our stride? To enlarge our vision?

• There are two keys to productive missionary work -- (1) family-to-family friendshipping (when a member family shares the gospel with a nonmember family) and (2) cooperation between members and the missionaries to reach people...Every member knows of nonmembers he or she can refer to the missionaries. Every father, mother, and youth in this church should share the gospel by giving a Book of Mormon, telling the account of the Prophet Joseph Smith, or inviting our acquaintances to a special meeting.
