More quotes by 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
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated. Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special thought can be lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
Neal A. Maxwell
A vague goal is no goal at all. The Ten Commandments wouldn't be very impressive, for instance, if they weren't specific, but simply were couched in a phraseology such as 'thou shalt not be a bad person.
Neal A. Maxwell
Conscience warns us not to sink our cleats too deeply in mortal turf, which is so dangerously artificial.
Neal A. Maxwell
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should not assume however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.
