Image
We can't dwell upon another's ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
It is possible to know when, at least basically, we please God. In fact, Joseph Smith taught that one of the conditions of genuine faith is to have an actual knowledge that the course of life which [one] is pursuing is according to [God's] will.

Image
There is no democracy of facts.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Love is never wasted, even if it is not reciprocated.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Those of little faith mistake local cloud cover for general darkness. Keeping spiritually intact results in our keeping precious perspective by seeing things as they really are.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
It is not the years but the changes that make us grow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The charity of good women is such that their 'love makes no parade' they are not glad 'when others go wrong' they are too busy serving to sit statusfully about, waiting to be offended.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
A father who finds it difficult to express his love vocally for his children may need, at first, to be humbly obedient in holding family home evenings in order to help him to discover, or to increase, his appreciation for his children. Next can come to him the courage to say I love you to each one.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
How can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, 'Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!'
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
How good you and I get at repenting will determine how good life is.

Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!
