More quotes by 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
Those of little faith mistake local cloud cover for general darkness. Keeping spiritually intact results in our keeping precious perspective by seeing things as they really are.
Neal A. Maxwell
A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.
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
Ultimate hope and daily grumpiness are not reconcilable.
Neal A. Maxwell
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ironically, brothers and sisters, the natural man who is so very selfish in so many ordinary ways is strangely unselfish in that he reaches for too few of the things that bring real joy. He settles for a mess of pottage instead of eternal joy.
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 only by yielding to God that we can begin to realize His will for us. And if we truly trust God, why not yield to His loving omniscience? After all, He knows us and our possibilities much better than do we.
Neal A. Maxwell
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
Neal A. Maxwell
The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?
Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes, if you're like me, [God] will brace or reprove in a highly personal process not understood or appreciated by those outside the context.
Neal A. Maxwell
We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.
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
I assume, gladly, that in the allocation to America of remarkable leaders like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, the Lord was just as careful. After all, if you've got only one Abraham Lincoln, you'd better put him in that point in history when he's most needed-much as some of us might like to have him now.
Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is possible to know when, at least basically, we please God. In fact, Joseph Smith taught that one of the conditions of genuine faith is to have an actual knowledge that the course of life which [one] is pursuing is according to [God's] will.
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
God's extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
