President Kimball
Think of this year in Capstone also, as an opportunity to learn a great principle that President Spencer W. Kimball taught us about excellence at BYU:
“We must do more than ask the lord for excellence. Perspiration must precede inspiration; there must be effort before there is excellence. We must do more than pray for these outcomes at BYU, though we must surely pray. We must take thought. We must make effort……dreams and prophetic utterances are not self-executing. They are fulfilled usually by righteous and devoted people making the[se] prophecies come true.”
40 President Spencer W. Kimball, “The Second Century” 1975
Thank you!
