Neal A. Maxwell
The charity of good women is such that their 'love makes no parade' they are not glad 'when others go wrong' they are too busy serving to sit statusfully about, waiting to be offended.
Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
Neal A. Maxwell
A friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if it’s fair, it isn’t a trial.
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
Looking for honest ways to lift one another would . . . be more beneficial to our own self-esteem, for we would see more good in ourselves. We would cease to be so critical of our weaknesses and would find ways to allow our weaknesses to become strengths with God's help.
Neal A. Maxwell
