More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.
Neal A. Maxwell
Looking for honest ways to lift one another would . . . be more beneficial to our own self-esteem, for we would see more good in ourselves. We would cease to be so critical of our weaknesses and would find ways to allow our weaknesses to become strengths with God's help.
Neal A. Maxwell
The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.
Neal A. Maxwell
We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should not assume however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.
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
Education brightens a darkened world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Faith in God includes Faith in God's timing.
Neal A. Maxwell
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
If the nearly one-and-a-half million babies aborted in America each year could, somehow, vote, chameleon candidates would find fresh reason to be concerned about abortion, whereas now they are unconcerned.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meekness, the subtraction of self, reduces the multiplication of words.
Neal A. Maxwell
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
Neal A. Maxwell
Perfect love is perfectly patient.
Neal A. Maxwell
We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
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
Do not let the future be held hostage by the past
Neal A. Maxwell
Real hope is much more than wishful musing. It stiffens, not slackens, the spiritual spine.
Neal A. Maxwell
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
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.
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
