Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
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
God's extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
Though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievements ... those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
When at length we tire of putting people down, this self-inflicted fatigue can give way to the invigorating calisthenics of lifting people up.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
One day the faithful will have it all!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Blessed is he who will not be offended
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Patience helps us to view imperfections in others more generously to the end that we may learn to be more wise than they have been.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I know sanctification comes not with any particular calling, but with genuine acts of service, often for which there is no specific calling.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
So much depends, therefore, upon our maintaining gospel perspective in the midst of ordinariness, the pressures of temptation, tribulation, deprivation, and the cares of the world.
