Neal A. Maxwell
Oh, how great the plan of our God!
Neal A. Maxwell

Any significant unraveling of the moral fiber of the American people, therefore, finally imperils the Constitution.
Neal A. Maxwell
What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.
Neal A. Maxwell
There will be many fine and wonderful men and women of all races and creeds-and of no religious creeds at all-who will lead decent and useful lives.

Neal A. Maxwell
If we knew how often the obedience of others is affected by our own, and how often our stepping forth soon brings forth a whole platton of helpers, and how often our speaking forth soon creates a chorus - we would be even more ashamed of our slackess and our silence.
Neal A. Maxwell
Patient endurance permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord and our faith in His timing when we are being tossed about by the surf of circumstance. Even when a seeming undertow grasps us, somehow, in the tumbling, we are being carried forward, though battered and bruised.
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
Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.
Neal A. Maxwell
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.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
Celestial criteria measures service, not status.
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.
