More quotes by 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
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
God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us.
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
We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
Neal A. Maxwell
We...live in a world that is too prone to the tasteless, and we need to provide an opportunity to cultivate a taste for the finest music. And, likewise, we’re in a world that’s so attuned to the now that we need to permit people to be more attuned to the best music of all ages.
Neal A. Maxwell
Anger should never be an overnight guest.

Power is most safe with those who are not in love with it!
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
We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.
Neal A. Maxwell
Oh, how great the plan of our God!
Neal A. Maxwell
Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
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
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
Neal A. Maxwell
We can't dwell upon another's ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.
Neal A. Maxwell
You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.
Neal A. Maxwell
Conscience warns us not to sink our cleats too deeply in mortal turf, which is so dangerously artificial.
Neal A. Maxwell
God will facilitate, but He will not force.
Neal A. Maxwell
