Do not let the future be held hostage by the past

The more quickly we loosen our grip on the things of the world the more firmly we can take hold of the things of eternity.

Image
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
Image
When at length we tire of putting people down, this self-inflicted fatigue can give way to the invigorating calisthenics of lifting people up.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.

Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
It is possible to know when, at least basically, we please God. In fact, Joseph Smith taught that one of the conditions of genuine faith is to have an actual knowledge that the course of life which [one] is pursuing is according to [God's] will.

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.

Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.

If the nearly one-and-a-half million babies aborted in America each year could, somehow, vote, chameleon candidates would find fresh reason to be concerned about abortion, whereas now they are unconcerned.

Image
In one degree or another we all struggle with selfishness. Since it is so common, why worry about selfishness anyway? Because selfishness is really self-destruction in slow motion.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If another person only had in his storehouse of deserved self-esteem what you had put there, what would he have to draw upon and to sustain him?
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.

Why is it that for many persons changing others is so exciting and so relevant, while changing oneself is so boring and irrelevant?

Image
When, as President Joseph F. Smith said, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, let us be quietly grateful. When of great truths we can say I know, that powerful spiritual witness may also carry with it the sense of our having known before. With rediscovery, we are really saying I know - again!

God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
A father who finds it difficult to express his love vocally for his children may need, at first, to be humbly obedient in holding family home evenings in order to help him to discover, or to increase, his appreciation for his children. Next can come to him the courage to say I love you to each one.
