The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.

More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
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
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
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Do not let the future be held hostage by the past
Neal A. Maxwell
The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.
Neal A. Maxwell
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
Neal A. Maxwell
God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability.
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
Oh, how great the plan of our God!
Neal A. Maxwell
Our journey is demanding enough that the need for reassurance as well as reminders is constant.
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
How good you and I get at repenting will determine how good life is.
Neal A. Maxwell
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
Neal A. Maxwell
When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.
Neal A. Maxwell
How could there be refining fires without our enduring some heat?
Neal A. Maxwell
The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Therefore, as we strive to become as the Father is and as Jesus is, we are to become more gracious and merciful, more kind and considerate. Even more, we are to do this in a world which does little to encourage such qualities of character.
Neal A. Maxwell
