Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.

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

In contrast to the path of selfishness, there is no room for road rage on the straight and narrow way.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Ironically, as some people become harder, they use softer words to describe dark deeds. This, too, is part of being sedated by secularism. Needless abortion, for instance, is a reproductive health procedure, . . . Illegitimacy gives way to the wholly sanitized words non-marital birth or alternative parenting.

Our journey is demanding enough that the need for reassurance as well as reminders is constant.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
