Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Therefore, as we strive to become as the Father is and as Jesus is, we are to become more gracious and merciful, more kind and considerate. Even more, we are to do this in a world which does little to encourage such qualities of character.
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.

Each day I see all about me the fruits of commandment-keeping.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Those who turn against the Church do so to play to their own private gallery, but when, one day, the applause has died down and the cheering has stopped, they will face a smaller audience, the judgment bar of God.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
For some Church members the Book of Mormon remains unread. Others use it occasionally as if it were merely a handy book of quotations. Still others accept and read it but do not really explore and ponder it. The book is to be feasted upon, not nibbled (see 2 Nephi 31:20).

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.

Real hope is much more than wishful musing. It stiffens, not slackens, the spiritual spine.
