More quotes by 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
Ironically, brothers and sisters, the natural man who is so very selfish in so many ordinary ways is strangely unselfish in that he reaches for too few of the things that bring real joy. He settles for a mess of pottage instead of eternal joy.
Neal A. Maxwell
In one degree or another we all struggle with selfishness. Since it is so common, why worry about selfishness anyway? Because selfishness is really self-destruction in slow motion.
Neal A. Maxwell
Real disciples absorb the fiery darts of the adversary by holding aloft the quenching shield of faith with one hand, while holding to the iron rod with the other (see Eph. 6:16 1 Ne. 15:24 D&C 27:17). There should be no mistaking it will take both hands!
Neal A. Maxwell
All crosses are easier to carry when we keep moving.
Neal A. Maxwell
The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best?
Neal A. Maxwell
We...live in a world that is too prone to the tasteless, and we need to provide an opportunity to cultivate a taste for the finest music. And, likewise, we’re in a world that’s so attuned to the now that we need to permit people to be more attuned to the best music of all ages.
Neal A. Maxwell
How good you and I get at repenting will determine how good life is.
Neal A. Maxwell
Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
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
Do not let the future be held hostage by the past
Neal A. Maxwell
If we knew how often the obedience of others is affected by our own, and how often our stepping forth soon brings forth a whole platton of helpers, and how often our speaking forth soon creates a chorus - we would be even more ashamed of our slackess and our silence.
Neal A. Maxwell
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.
Neal A. Maxwell
I thank the Father that His Only Begotten Son did not say in defiant protest at Calvary, My body is my own! I stand in admiration of women today who resist the fashion of abortion, by refusing to make the sacred womb a tomb!
Neal A. Maxwell
Perfect love is perfectly patient.
Neal A. Maxwell
Power is most safe with those who are not in love with it!
Neal A. Maxwell
It is not the years but the changes that make us grow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meekness, the subtraction of self, reduces the multiplication of words.
Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
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
