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
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.

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

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!
Neal A. Maxwell
Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
