More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
Neal A. Maxwell
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
When, as President Joseph F. Smith said, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, let us be quietly grateful. When of great truths we can say I know, that powerful spiritual witness may also carry with it the sense of our having known before. With rediscovery, we are really saying I know - again!
Neal A. Maxwell
It is only by yielding to God that we can begin to realize His will for us. And if we truly trust God, why not yield to His loving omniscience? After all, He knows us and our possibilities much better than do we.
Neal A. Maxwell
The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.
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
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
Power is most safe with those who are not in love with it!
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
Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.
Neal A. Maxwell
A society which permits anything will eventually lose everything.
Neal A. Maxwell
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
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
Let the scriptures refresh you.
Neal A. Maxwell
Many of those engaged in a lemming-like march to the sea are proud of their individualism.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
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
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
The great challenge is to refuse to let the bad things that happen to us do bad things to us. That is the crucial difference between adversity and tragedy.
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
