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.

More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
God's anger is kindled not because we have harmed him but because we have harmed ourselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
Those who do too much for their children will soon find they can do nothing with their children. So many children have been so much done for they are almost done in.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is not the years but the changes that make us grow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Selfishness is much more than an ordinary problem because it activates all the cardinal sins! It is the detonator in the breaking of the Ten Commandments.
Neal A. Maxwell
I am as I am, And so is a stone Them that don't like me, Must leave me alone.
Neal A. Maxwell
Truly we work and live on a streetful of splendid people, whom we are to love and serve even if they are uninterested in us!
Neal A. Maxwell
The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.
Neal A. Maxwell
What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.
Neal A. Maxwell
Clearly, when we baptize, our eyes should gaze beyond the baptismal font to the holy temple. The great garner into which the sheaves should be gathered is the holy temple.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meanwhile, spiritual submissiveness brings about the wiser use of our time, talents, and gifts as compared with our laboring diligently but conditionally to establish our own righteousness instead of the Lord's (D&C 1:16). After all, Lucifer was willing to work very hard, but conditionally in his own way and for his own purposes.
Neal A. Maxwell
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
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
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative indignant without being intelligent impulsive without being insightful.
Neal A. Maxwell
Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
Neal A. Maxwell
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
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
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
