More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Most of our suffering comes from sin and stupidity it is, nevertheless, very real, and growth can occur with real repentance. But the highest source of suffering appears to be reserved for the innocent who undergo divine tutorial training.
Neal A. Maxwell
Progress is measured by milestones. What many good people lack are markers that might tell them how they are actually doing. Goals can become a ritual or a fetish, but in the right measure they can give us some much needed reference points. No wonder some seem discouraged! Minus such milestones, we often feel minus in our lives
Neal A. Maxwell
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
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
The Lord doesn't ask about your ability, only your availability and, if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.
Neal A. Maxwell
Mother lode of learning.

Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
Neal A. Maxwell
Celestial criteria measures service, not status.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
I thank the Father that His Only Begotten Son did not say in defiant protest at Calvary, My body is my own! I stand in admiration of women today who resist the fashion of abortion, by refusing to make the sacred womb a tomb!
Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
Neal A. Maxwell
When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
A society which permits anything will eventually lose everything.
Neal A. Maxwell
Those who do too much for their children will soon find they can do nothing with their children. So many children have been so much done for they are almost done in.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends
Neal A. Maxwell
The mortal experience . . . is not like a college course which we can passively audit. Instead, we are taking life's course for credit and there are no summers off - not even semester breaks.
Neal A. Maxwell
In contrast to the path of selfishness, there is no room for road rage on the straight and narrow way.
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
