More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Personal, spiritual symmetry emerges only from the shaping of prolonged obedience. Twigs are bent, not snapped into shape.
Neal A. Maxwell
The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
Life is an 'open-book' exam, but the problem is that most of the students don't have the 'book', or refuse to open it-a fact that ought to spur us on as Church members to share the gospel more widely so that life would be meaningful for more people.
Neal A. Maxwell
Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievements ... those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing.
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
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
Neal A. Maxwell
Do not let the future be held hostage by the past
Neal A. Maxwell
So much depends, therefore, upon our maintaining gospel perspective in the midst of ordinariness, the pressures of temptation, tribulation, deprivation, and the cares of the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
