More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
The flame of family can warm us and at the same time be a perpetual pilot light to rekindle us.
Neal A. Maxwell
How could there be refining fires without our enduring some heat?
Neal A. Maxwell
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
Neal A. Maxwell
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
Life is an 'open-book' exam, but the problem is that most of the students don't have the 'book', or refuse to open it-a fact that ought to spur us on as Church members to share the gospel more widely so that life would be meaningful for more people.
Neal A. Maxwell
Celestial criteria measures service, not status.
Neal A. Maxwell
How good you and I get at repenting will determine how good life is.
Neal A. Maxwell
Trials and tribulations tend to squeeze the artificiality out of us, leaving the essence of what we really are and clarifying what we really yearn for.
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
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our inspired Constitution is wisely designed to protect from excesses of political power, but it can do little to protect us from the excesses of appetite or from individual indifference to great principles or institutions. Any significant unraveling of the moral fiber of the American people, therefore, finally imperils the Constitution.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
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
A father who finds it difficult to express his love vocally for his children may need, at first, to be humbly obedient in holding family home evenings in order to help him to discover, or to increase, his appreciation for his children. Next can come to him the courage to say I love you to each one.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
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
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
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
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
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
