Kimball In my office...I have a little sign and it says, 'Do it!' I suppose if I have learned anything in life, it is that we are to keep moving, keep trying-as long as we breathe! If we do, we will be surprised at how much more can still be done. Spencer W. Kimball procrastination long moving God does watch over us and does notice us, but it usually through someone else that he meets our needs. Spencer W.
