More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Mercy can purge the soul of sin, making room for a fresh start. Truth is vital in order that we have an unvarying standard by which to determine what we are to be and to do and what we are to rid ourselves of. All the cardinal virtues, therefore, carry their own intrinsic as well as outward reward. A merciful man does do good to his own soul.
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
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
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
Neal A. Maxwell
I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends
Neal A. Maxwell
The authority of example and considerations of character, unlike pudding, are not whipped up in an instant.
Neal A. Maxwell
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
Neal A. Maxwell
God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.
Neal A. Maxwell
Most of our suffering comes from sin and stupidity it is, nevertheless, very real, and growth can occur with real repentance. But the highest source of suffering appears to be reserved for the innocent who undergo divine tutorial training.
Neal A. Maxwell
For some Church members the Book of Mormon remains unread. Others use it occasionally as if it were merely a handy book of quotations. Still others accept and read it but do not really explore and ponder it. The book is to be feasted upon, not nibbled (see 2 Nephi 31:20).
Neal A. Maxwell
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
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
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
Perfect love is perfectly patient.
Neal A. Maxwell
When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Anger should never be an overnight guest.
Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
Neal A. Maxwell
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
Neal A. Maxwell
The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.
Neal A. Maxwell
