Image
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
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
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Patience is...clearly not fatalistic, shoulder-shrugging resignation. It is the acceptance of a divine rhythm to life it is obedience prolonged. Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The charity of good women is such that their 'love makes no parade' they are not glad 'when others go wrong' they are too busy serving to sit statusfully about, waiting to be offended.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Patient endurance permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord and our faith in His timing when we are being tossed about by the surf of circumstance. Even when a seeming undertow grasps us, somehow, in the tumbling, we are being carried forward, though battered and bruised.

Image
A friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if it’s fair, it isn’t a trial.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
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
The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
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
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
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.
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
How can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, 'Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!'
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Daily hope is vital, since the ‘Winter Quarters’ of our lives are not immediately adjacent to our promised land either. An arduous trek still awaits, but hope spurs weary disciples on.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
