Good question! I found this in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism. It says that President Kimball’s personal motto was “Do It”, but there are no quotes that I can find. Here is the link.

Where did President Kimball ever himself at the pulpit use the phrase “Do It”? I can find a few references where others in their talks referred to the saying on his desk “Do It” but no where can I find that President Kimball himself said these words…….anyone out there who can give me the reference?

In reply to Stacey Nagareda.

It’s in Teachings of Spencer W Kimball, chapter 10, titled “Fortifying Ourselves Against Evil Influences”. Here is the link: https://www.lds.org/manual/teachings-spencer-w-kimball/chapter-10?lang=eng&_r=1

Actually, Nike says “just do it”, Pres. Kimball’s quote was simply “do it” and he had it on his desk.

He was the Prophet when I went on my mission. I trying to find a talk he gave to a group of youth where he mentions his dinner in France where “the temptation nudged” him to “drink it or at least sip it”, read the entire bible in 1 year, and build a “Latter-Day Saint home of your own.” do you know where I can find it?
