Patience is...clearly not fatalistic, shoulder-shrugging resignation. It is the acceptance of a divine rhythm to life it is obedience prolonged. Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing.

Meekness, the subtraction of self, reduces the multiplication of words.
Neal A. Maxwell

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
We can hold to the iron rod even if others slip away and a few end up mocking us from the great and spacious building.

Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
Neal A. Maxwell
Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.
Neal A. Maxwell
Mercy can purge the soul of sin, making room for a fresh start. Truth is vital in order that we have an unvarying standard by which to determine what we are to be and to do and what we are to rid ourselves of. All the cardinal virtues, therefore, carry their own intrinsic as well as outward reward. A merciful man does do good to his own soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
Neal A. Maxwell
The hardest work you and I will ever do is to put off our selfishness. It is heavy lifting!
Neal A. Maxwell
A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.
Neal A. Maxwell
