Image
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
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
Education brightens a darkened world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best?
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
I assume, gladly, that in the allocation to America of remarkable leaders like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, the Lord was just as careful. After all, if you've got only one Abraham Lincoln, you'd better put him in that point in history when he's most needed-much as some of us might like to have him now.

Image
I am as I am, And so is a stone Them that don't like me, Must leave me alone.

Image
Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Do not let the future be held hostage by the past
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
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
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Trying to observe the slow shift from self-centeredness to empathy is like trying to watch grass grow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.

Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
