More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!
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
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
Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
Neal A. Maxwell
Do not write a check with your tongue that your actions cannot cash.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is not the years but the changes that make us grow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meanwhile, spiritual submissiveness brings about the wiser use of our time, talents, and gifts as compared with our laboring diligently but conditionally to establish our own righteousness instead of the Lord's (D&C 1:16). After all, Lucifer was willing to work very hard, but conditionally in his own way and for his own purposes.
Neal A. Maxwell
God will facilitate, but He will not force.
Neal A. Maxwell
We can't dwell upon another's ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.
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
It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative indignant without being intelligent impulsive without being insightful.
Neal A. Maxwell
The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
Neal A. Maxwell
We...live in a world that is too prone to the tasteless, and we need to provide an opportunity to cultivate a taste for the finest music. And, likewise, we’re in a world that’s so attuned to the now that we need to permit people to be more attuned to the best music of all ages.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.
Neal A. Maxwell
The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.
Neal A. Maxwell
Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
