Image
Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
There will be many fine and wonderful men and women of all races and creeds-and of no religious creeds at all-who will lead decent and useful lives.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Love is never wasted, even if it is not reciprocated.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated. Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special thought can be lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside.

It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become.

Neal A. Maxwell
Image
A father who finds it difficult to express his love vocally for his children may need, at first, to be humbly obedient in holding family home evenings in order to help him to discover, or to increase, his appreciation for his children. Next can come to him the courage to say I love you to each one.

Image
Real hope is much more than wishful musing. It stiffens, not slackens, the spiritual spine.

Image
One day the faithful will have it all!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
It is possible to know when, at least basically, we please God. In fact, Joseph Smith taught that one of the conditions of genuine faith is to have an actual knowledge that the course of life which [one] is pursuing is according to [God's] will.

Mother lode of learning.

Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.

Image
God will facilitate, but He will not force.

In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The great challenge is to refuse to let the bad things that happen to us do bad things to us. That is the crucial difference between adversity and tragedy.

Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.

We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
