Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Meanwhile, spiritual submissiveness brings about the wiser use of our time, talents, and gifts as compared with our laboring diligently but conditionally to establish our own righteousness instead of the Lord's (D&C 1:16). After all, Lucifer was willing to work very hard, but conditionally in his own way and for his own purposes.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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. We can do neither, of course, but whereas the fish is at home in water, we are clearly not at home in time--because we belong to eternity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
God's anger is kindled not because we have harmed him but because we have harmed ourselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative indignant without being intelligent impulsive without being insightful.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Those who turn against the Church do so to play to their own private gallery, but when, one day, the applause has died down and the cheering has stopped, they will face a smaller audience, the judgment bar of God.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
A society which permits anything will eventually lose everything.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We can't dwell upon another's ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Selfishness is much more than an ordinary problem because it activates all the cardinal sins! It is the detonator in the breaking of the Ten Commandments.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
A vague goal is no goal at all. The Ten Commandments wouldn't be very impressive, for instance, if they weren't specific, but simply were couched in a phraseology such as 'thou shalt not be a bad person.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
