More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievements ... those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing.
Neal A. Maxwell
God's anger is kindled not because we have harmed him but because we have harmed ourselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.
Neal A. Maxwell
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
Neal A. Maxwell
Personal, spiritual symmetry emerges only from the shaping of prolonged obedience. Twigs are bent, not snapped into shape.
Neal A. Maxwell
A friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if it’s fair, it isn’t a trial.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meanwhile, spiritual submissiveness brings about the wiser use of our time, talents, and gifts as compared with our laboring diligently but conditionally to establish our own righteousness instead of the Lord's (D&C 1:16). After all, Lucifer was willing to work very hard, but conditionally in his own way and for his own purposes.
Neal A. Maxwell
Those few members who desert the cause are abandoning an oasis to search for water in the desert.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
The harrowing of the soul can be like the harrowing of the soil to increase the yield, things are turned upside down.
Neal A. Maxwell
Blessed is he who will not be offended
Neal A. Maxwell
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes, if you're like me, [God] will brace or reprove in a highly personal process not understood or appreciated by those outside the context.
Neal A. Maxwell
Joshua didn't say choose you next year whom you will serve he spoke of this day, while there is still daylight and before the darkness becomes more and more normal.
Neal A. Maxwell
Time is clearly not our natural dimension. Thus it is that we are never really at home in time. Alternately, we find ourselves wishing to hasten the passage of time or to hold back the dawn. We can do neither, of course, but whereas the fish is at home in water, we are clearly not at home in time--because we belong to eternity.
Neal A. Maxwell
There is no democracy of facts.
Neal A. Maxwell
Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.
Neal A. Maxwell
All crosses are easier to carry when we keep moving.
Neal A. Maxwell
In contrast to the path of selfishness, there is no room for road rage on the straight and narrow way.
Neal A. Maxwell
