More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
Neal A. Maxwell
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
Neal A. Maxwell
If we are serious about our discipleship, Jesus will eventually request each of us to do those very things which are most difficult for us to do.
Neal A. Maxwell
We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
Neal A. Maxwell
God's anger is kindled not because we have harmed him but because we have harmed ourselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meekness, the subtraction of self, reduces the multiplication of words.
Neal A. Maxwell
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
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.
Neal A. Maxwell
Time is clearly not our natural dimension. Thus it is that we are never really at home in time. Alternately, we find ourselves wishing to hasten the passage of time or to hold back the dawn. We can do neither, of course, but whereas the fish is at home in water, we are clearly not at home in time--because we belong to eternity.
Neal A. Maxwell
There is no democracy of facts.
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
You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.
Neal A. Maxwell
Those who do too much for their children will soon find they can do nothing with their children. So many children have been so much done for they are almost done in.
Neal A. Maxwell
The harrowing of the soul can be like the harrowing of the soil to increase the yield, things are turned upside down.
Neal A. Maxwell
Patience helps us to view imperfections in others more generously to the end that we may learn to be more wise than they have been.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our journey is demanding enough that the need for reassurance as well as reminders is constant.
Neal A. Maxwell
Truly we work and live on a streetful of splendid people, whom we are to love and serve even if they are uninterested in us!
Neal A. Maxwell
Personal, spiritual symmetry emerges only from the shaping of prolonged obedience. Twigs are bent, not snapped into shape.
Neal A. Maxwell
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ironically, as some people become harder, they use softer words to describe dark deeds. This, too, is part of being sedated by secularism. Needless abortion, for instance, is a reproductive health procedure, . . . Illegitimacy gives way to the wholly sanitized words non-marital birth or alternative parenting.
Neal A. Maxwell
