More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
Neal A. Maxwell
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
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
Unproductive worry - like Parkinson's proverbial law - tends to expand to fill the time available.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
How good you and I get at repenting will determine how good life is.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
The mortal experience . . . is not like a college course which we can passively audit. Instead, we are taking life's course for credit and there are no summers off - not even semester breaks.
Neal A. Maxwell
The new in us is bound to notice the old that remains.
Neal A. Maxwell
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
Neal A. Maxwell
Obviously, family values mirror our personal priorities. Given the gravity of current conditions, would parents be willing to give up just one outside thing, giving that time and talent instead to the family.
Neal A. Maxwell
All crosses are easier to carry when we keep moving.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative indignant without being intelligent impulsive without being insightful.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
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
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
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
Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!
Neal A. Maxwell
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
Neal A. Maxwell
