I think of what Elbert Hubbard said. It struck me rather strangely the other day. He said: "If you are going to reform the world you had better begin with yourself, and there will be one rogue less in the world." Of course, I did not want to apply that to myself, but I would not object to applying it to you.

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.
