Oh, how great the plan of our God!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
True discipleship is for volunteers only. Only volunteers will trust the Guide sufficiently to follow Him in the dangerous ascent which only He can lead.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
There will be many fine and wonderful men and women of all races and creeds-and of no religious creeds at all-who will lead decent and useful lives.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
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.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If we knew how often the obedience of others is affected by our own, and how often our stepping forth soon brings forth a whole platton of helpers, and how often our speaking forth soon creates a chorus - we would be even more ashamed of our slackess and our silence.

Image
Love is never wasted, even if it is not reciprocated.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If we are serious about our discipleship, Jesus will eventually request each of us to do those very things which are most difficult for us to do.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Daily hope is vital, since the ‘Winter Quarters’ of our lives are not immediately adjacent to our promised land either. An arduous trek still awaits, but hope spurs weary disciples on.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
Patience is...clearly not fatalistic, shoulder-shrugging resignation. It is the acceptance of a divine rhythm to life it is obedience prolonged. Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
Neal A. Maxwell

God's anger is kindled not because we have harmed him but because we have harmed ourselves.
