More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
Neal A. Maxwell
You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.
Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes, if you're like me, [God] will brace or reprove in a highly personal process not understood or appreciated by those outside the context.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is only by yielding to God that we can begin to realize His will for us. And if we truly trust God, why not yield to His loving omniscience? After all, He knows us and our possibilities much better than do we.
Neal A. Maxwell
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
The hardest work you and I will ever do is to put off our selfishness. It is heavy lifting!
Neal A. Maxwell
How could there be refining fires without our enduring some heat?
Neal A. Maxwell
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
Neal A. Maxwell
God will facilitate, but He will not force.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
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
Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
If another person only had in his storehouse of deserved self-esteem what you had put there, what would he have to draw upon and to sustain him?
Neal A. Maxwell
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
Neal A. Maxwell
We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
Neal A. Maxwell
