It is possible to know when, at least basically, we please God. In fact, Joseph Smith taught that one of the conditions of genuine faith is to have an actual knowledge that the course of life which [one] is pursuing is according to [God's] will.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meekness, the subtraction of self, reduces the multiplication of words.
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
I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends
