I realize, my brethren and sisters, that, during the past thirty years I may have said some foolish things. I have in my own way, given the people a good deal of chaff to get them to take a little wheat, but some of them haven't got sense enough to pick the wheat out from the chaff.

More quotes by J. Golden Kimball

I tell you, God can do nothing with a "half-way man."

When I look over this body of men, I do not discover that you are very distinguished in appearance. Why, you are no better looking than I am, and I look pretty bad.

Any man who tries to do the right thing and continues to try, is not a failure in the sight of God.

It is considered a good thing to look wise, especially when not over burdened with information.

Construction is very difficult, destruction is easy.
