As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
Neal A. Maxwell
How could there be refining fires without our enduring some heat?
Neal A. Maxwell
The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best?
Neal A. Maxwell
The new in us is bound to notice the old that remains.
Neal A. Maxwell

When, as President Joseph F. Smith said, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, let us be quietly grateful. When of great truths we can say I know, that powerful spiritual witness may also carry with it the sense of our having known before. With rediscovery, we are really saying I know - again!
Neal A. Maxwell
It is not the years but the changes that make us grow.
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
Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
Joshua didn't say choose you next year whom you will serve he spoke of this day, while there is still daylight and before the darkness becomes more and more normal.
Neal A. Maxwell
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
Neal A. Maxwell
The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.
Neal A. Maxwell
God's extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family.
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
It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative indignant without being intelligent impulsive without being insightful.
Neal A. Maxwell
