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.

In one degree or another we all struggle with selfishness. Since it is so common, why worry about selfishness anyway? Because selfishness is really self-destruction in slow motion.

Unproductive worry - like Parkinson's proverbial law - tends to expand to fill the time available.

Image
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
Image
Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.

Image
Patience helps us to view imperfections in others more generously to the end that we may learn to be more wise than they have been.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don't wait too long to find the altar or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging.

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!

Image
Joshua didn't say choose you next year whom you will serve he spoke of this day, while there is still daylight and before the darkness becomes more and more normal.

We...live in a world that is too prone to the tasteless, and we need to provide an opportunity to cultivate a taste for the finest music. And, likewise, we’re in a world that’s so attuned to the now that we need to permit people to be more attuned to the best music of all ages.

God's extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family.

Image
How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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.

Image
Though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievements ... those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing.

I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends
