More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
How good you and I get at repenting will determine how good life is.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us.
Neal A. Maxwell
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
Neal A. Maxwell
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
Neal A. Maxwell
Thus worshiping, serving, studying, praying, each in its own way squeezes selfishness out of us pushes aside our preoccupations with the things of the world.
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
Mother lode of learning.
Neal A. Maxwell
Many of those engaged in a lemming-like march to the sea are proud of their individualism.
Neal A. Maxwell
The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.
Neal A. Maxwell
Why is it that for many persons changing others is so exciting and so relevant, while changing oneself is so boring and irrelevant?
Neal A. Maxwell
Patient endurance permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord and our faith in His timing when we are being tossed about by the surf of circumstance. Even when a seeming undertow grasps us, somehow, in the tumbling, we are being carried forward, though battered and bruised.
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
When we are unduly impatient with an omniscient God's timing, we really are suggesting that we know what's best. Strange isn't it-we who wear wrist watches seek to counsel Him who oversees cosmic clocks and calendars.
Neal A. Maxwell
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.
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
Ultimate hope and daily grumpiness are not reconcilable.
Neal A. Maxwell
One day the faithful will have it all!
Neal A. Maxwell
Let the scriptures refresh you.
