Neal A. Maxwell
Image
As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don't wait too long to find the altar or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging.

Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Our inspired Constitution is wisely designed to protect from excesses of political power, but it can do little to protect us from the excesses of appetite or from individual indifference to great principles or institutions. Any significant unraveling of the moral fiber of the American people, therefore, finally imperils the Constitution.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
The harrowing of the soul can be like the harrowing of the soil to increase the yield, things are turned upside down.

Conscience warns us not to sink our cleats too deeply in mortal turf, which is so dangerously artificial.
Neal A. Maxwell
