More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.
Neal A. Maxwell
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
Neal A. Maxwell
The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated. Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special thought can be lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside.
Neal A. Maxwell
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Each day I see all about me the fruits of commandment-keeping.
Neal A. Maxwell
In contrast to the path of selfishness, there is no room for road rage on the straight and narrow way.
Neal A. Maxwell
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
Neal A. Maxwell
I thank the Father that His Only Begotten Son did not say in defiant protest at Calvary, My body is my own! I stand in admiration of women today who resist the fashion of abortion, by refusing to make the sacred womb a tomb!
Neal A. Maxwell
It is only by yielding to God that we can begin to realize His will for us. And if we truly trust God, why not yield to His loving omniscience? After all, He knows us and our possibilities much better than do we.
Neal A. Maxwell
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
Neal A. Maxwell
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
Neal A. Maxwell
Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ironically, brothers and sisters, the natural man who is so very selfish in so many ordinary ways is strangely unselfish in that he reaches for too few of the things that bring real joy. He settles for a mess of pottage instead of eternal joy.
Neal A. Maxwell
Mercy can purge the soul of sin, making room for a fresh start. Truth is vital in order that we have an unvarying standard by which to determine what we are to be and to do and what we are to rid ourselves of. All the cardinal virtues, therefore, carry their own intrinsic as well as outward reward. A merciful man does do good to his own soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Education brightens a darkened world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.
Neal A. Maxwell
Daily hope is vital, since the ‘Winter Quarters’ of our lives are not immediately adjacent to our promised land either. An arduous trek still awaits, but hope spurs weary disciples on.
Neal A. Maxwell
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
