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
Image
We should not assume however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
There is no democracy of facts.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don't wait too long to find the altar or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging.

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.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We can't dwell upon another's ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image

Neal A. Maxwell
Image
What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
When one comes to know God and His Son Jesus Christ through the scriptures, the Spirit, and personal revelation, it is impossible to feel anything other than overwhelmed by the attributes so perfectly developed in them and so tentatively and superficially developed in oneself. Even so, we are told to strive to become like them.
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 authority of example and considerations of character, unlike pudding, are not whipped up in an instant.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
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
Those few members who desert the cause are abandoning an oasis to search for water in the desert.
