Image
Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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

Image
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
Image
Patience is...clearly not fatalistic, shoulder-shrugging resignation. It is the acceptance of a divine rhythm to life it is obedience prolonged. Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
Ultimate hope and daily grumpiness are not reconcilable.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Anger should never be an overnight guest.
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
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.

How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!
