More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
A society which permits anything will eventually lose everything.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become.
Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
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
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
God's anger is kindled not because we have harmed him but because we have harmed ourselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
Neal A. Maxwell
Love is never wasted, even if it is not reciprocated.
Neal A. Maxwell
Real hope is much more than wishful musing. It stiffens, not slackens, the spiritual spine.
Neal A. Maxwell
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
Neal A. Maxwell
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
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
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes, if you're like me, [God] will brace or reprove in a highly personal process not understood or appreciated by those outside the context.
Neal A. Maxwell
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
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
Trials and tribulations tend to squeeze the artificiality out of us, leaving the essence of what we really are and clarifying what we really yearn for.
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
