Neal A. Maxwell
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
We can hold to the iron rod even if others slip away and a few end up mocking us from the great and spacious building.
Neal A. Maxwell
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
Neal A. Maxwell
The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
There will be many fine and wonderful men and women of all races and creeds-and of no religious creeds at all-who will lead decent and useful lives.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative indignant without being intelligent impulsive without being insightful.
Neal A. Maxwell
Thus worshiping, serving, studying, praying, each in its own way squeezes selfishness out of us pushes aside our preoccupations with the things of the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
Neal A. Maxwell
Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.
Neal A. Maxwell
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
A friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if it’s fair, it isn’t a trial.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ultimate hope and daily grumpiness are not reconcilable.
Neal A. Maxwell
Unproductive worry - like Parkinson's proverbial law - tends to expand to fill the time available.
Neal A. Maxwell
The Lord doesn't ask about your ability, only your availability and, if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.
Neal A. Maxwell
The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.
Neal A. Maxwell
